You are no longer strangers.
But fellow citizens.
Spiritual rangers:
And holy denizens.

Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails.
And place my hand into his side.
And place my hand in the mark of the nails.
I will not believe and will deride.

Yet Thomas was all for saving Lazarus.
He was not such a faint heart.
A faithful follower of Jesus.
A man set apart.

We too are always doubting
Then wondering and finally believing.

……

We see the nail’s marks
We place our hand into his his side
Just in our mind’s eye

See Ephesians 2 : 19-22 and John 20 : 24-29
