Readings: Exodus 6:28-7:25; Luke 10:16

In the name of the Father and of the +Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

“I have made you God to pharaoh.” (Exod. 7:1) In English we need to add the word “like” god, or “as” god or we get confused. But the original Hebrew says, “I have made you God unto Pharaoh.” What the Lord is saying is, “I have given you My authority. (Matt. 28:18-20) I am commissioning you. I am the Lord. (Exod. 6:28; 7:5, 17) I am sending you to speak My word of power. My word by which I do all things. My word which does what I send it to do. (Isa. 55:11) I have given you an office. A ministry: to speak My word which saves.”

Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. Alleluia!

What were the disciples thinking on Easter night? The Teacher had been slaughtered on Friday. He had said strange things about suffering, dying, and rising before it all went down. But no one does that. Though He had done it to others on at least three occasions (Mark 5:35-43; Luke 7:11-17; John 11:1-45). We know they were afraid. The doors were locked.

Yet in their midst Jesus appears. He shows His hands and feet and says, “Peace be with you.” He proves He is alive. Then He gives them what the resurrection is about: peace with God. In other words, He absolves their sins. He removes them. Removing the cause of their fear. Thus giving them peace with God.

Ezekiel 37:1-14
1 John 5:4-10
John 20:19-31

In the name of the Father and of the +Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Natural man does not believe in the things of God. The witness of Creation around us means all mankind is without excuse if they do not in the God who created all. That is the natural default setting in us: to believe in God. If your heart on its own did not long for more than what you can see in this material world, the very beauty, intricacy, the irreducible complexity, the design that is obvious in all things in the natural world means you are a fool to deny that a creator exists.

Doubt and belief. It is the issue of our age. Thomas was, therefore, a modern man. “Show me with my own two eyes. Prove it to me with my five senses.” he said. Which is a common cry today. Science. What my five senses can tell me proves what is true and what isn’t. Prove it to me from science. And thus we doubt, for Science has no way of verifying what can not be sensed with the five senses. Science falls short of knowing anything about God or spiritual realities, for God can not be controlled or contained within a test tube or experiment. He can not be reproduced in a lab. So some supposedly scientifically minded ones think God therefore does not exist.
