Christ is 'the Lord' (2,18,20,25). Christ is 'my
Lord' (13,28). Faith becomes real when Jesus comes to us. Here, we see
Jesus coming to Mary, the disciples and Thomas. Here, we see Mary, the
disciples and Thomas - changed by the power of the risen Christ. In
love, He comes to them, and they are changed. (a) Mary was 'weeping' (13,15). Jesus came to her, and she became a confident believer - 'I have seen the Lord!' (18). (b) The disciples were filled with 'fear'. Jesus came to them. He gave them His 'peace' and 'joy' (19-20). (c) Thomas
found faith hard to come by (25). Jesus came to him, and he believed -
'My Lord and my God!' (28). Through the Gospel, we find faith: 'These
are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of
God, and that by believing you may have life in His Name' (31).
