Doubt Is the Place God Meets Us

The disciple Thomas, who refuses to believe the news of Jesus’s resurrection without seeing it for himself, is known as a doubter. But in focusing on Thomas's uncertainty, we miss a deeper truth. “Doubt is not at odds with faith; it’s part of it!” writes the Rev. Yein Kim. Jesus isn’t angry when we ask questions. On the contrary, he meets us where we are and gives us exactly what we need to believe.

The Impossible Story of Easter

“It’s so easy to look at the state of our lives or the world around us and assume the worst,” writes the Rev. Matthew Welsch. But Christians are called to orient our lives around a different reality: Death does not win. Even when it seems impossible, Jesus brings new life.

Loving Your Enemy Isn’t Giving Up

“Loving one’s enemy does not mean acquiescence to the powers that be,” writes Summerlee Staten. “We see this in the witness of Jesus himself, who did not shy away from speaking truth to power, and who spent the bulk of his ministry . . . healing the sick, caring for the poor, and including the disinherited.”

Blessings in Disguise

In our Scripture this week, “Jesus subverts our expectations and invites us to see blessing a different way,” writes the Rev. Yein Kim, “one that is not dependent on external circumstances.”

Enough for Everyone

Jesus encourages his followers to “make a small but ultimately upending shift in their approach to life: from an attitude of scarcity to a practice of abundance,” writes the Rev. Matthew Welsch. “[They] join him in his mission of sharing the love of God not only with some people but with everyone they meet.”

The Bible is God’s Blueprint for Living

It’s easy to think the Bible has little to do with our day-to-day lives. But “the Bible contains the record of humanity’s interaction with God across the millennia,” writes the Rev. Matthew Welsch. “And God has always called God’s people to do the same things: feed the hungry, care for the sick, and liberate the oppressed.”

Loving Our Enemies Means Swimming Against the Stream

When we follow Jesus’s countercultural example, resistance to evil looks radically different. “Hate for hate only intensifies the existence of hate . . . in the universe,” preached Martin Luther King Jr. So, even when it costs us, we forgive others as God has forgiven us. “Impossible love like this,” writes Kathy Bozzuti-Jones, “has the power to charge a brutal world with holiness.”
