Locking and unlocking
John 20.19-31The disciples, frightened by the discovery of the empty tomb and Mary’s report that she has seen the Lord, are hiding in a house with locked doors. Jesus enters and shows them his wounds. Thomas does not see this and declares that he will not believe it is true unless he sees Jesus’ wounds for himself. Despite the doors once again being locked, Jesus enters the house – this time, Thomas believes that he is the risen Lord.
The Gospel accounts of Jesus breaking through locked doors prompts us to ask what holds us back and what doors do we need to open? The disciples are witnesses commissioned to bring God’s forgiveness; can we help to unlock doors for others?
