As we continue to celebrate the most glorious Pascha of our Lord, says the Very Rev. Dr Alexander Rentel, we must remind ourselves how difficult it must have been for His disciples immediately after His crucifixion. There was fear, doubt, and extreme discouragement. This is what made their joy all the more exuberant and full when the Lord appeared to them through locked doors as they prayed in hiding. For Thomas, as well as for the other disciples, witnessing the Lord in His resurrected form enabled them to finally understand the entirety of His teaching and saving work here on earth.
