Today's Scripture: On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, so I send you.” And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.” Thomas, called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in His hands and put my finger into the nail marks and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.” Now a week later His disciples were again inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood in their midst and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see My hands, and bring your hand and put it into My side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe.” Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you come to believe because you have seen Me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.” Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples that are not written in this book. But these are written that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that through this belief you may have life in His name. --John 20:19-31 Jesus “showed them His hands and His side.” There is an obvious context to today's Gospel pericope: Jesus is willing to go "the extra mile" to satisfy the apostles' doubts about His resurrection. Recall that up to this point all the apostles have had to go on regarding Jesus's resurrection was the empty tomb--and the testimony of others. If one accepts the canonicity of the longer ending of Mark (16:9-20)--or even if one doesn't--it would seem that the conclusion noting their skepticism regarding the testimony of Mary Magdalene (16:11) and of the disciples from Emmaus (16:13) makes sense: why would Jesus have felt the need to directly reveal Himself to them in the way that He did? Why would He make a point of showing His wounds to them otherwise? When calling the absent apostle "Doubting Thomas"--since he was absent at that first appearance of Jesus to them--are we not stigmatizing him unfairly? Had any of the other apostles been absent, would they have demonstrated any greater faith? Thomas's statement--“Unless I see the mark of the nails in His hands and put my finger into the nail marks and put my hand into His side, I will not believe”--is not that of someone who would have believed testimonial evidence of Jesus's resurrection up to that point. By extension, the same would apply to the other apostles, or they would have confronted Thomas on that basis as well as through their own eyewitness testimony. At the same time, I wonder if there is another meaning/message in the way He revealed Himself to them. Is there something else that He wanted them – and wants us – to see? I think there’s more to be seen than just the mark of the nails and the piercing of the spear. I think it’s about more than simply being able to identify Jesus as the one who was crucified. I think that in showing us His wounds Jesus is identifying with every person who has ever been or is wounded. I think the open wounds of Jesus hold the pain of the world. And as the poet Warsan Shire writes in her poem, “what they did yesterday afternoon,” that pain is everywhere: later that night i held an atlas in my lap ran my fingers across the whole world and whispered where does it hurt? it answered everywhere everywhere everywhere. The wounded body of Jesus is an emblem of our wounded world. To look at Jesus’s hands and His side is to see the wounds we’ve received and the ones we’ve inflicted on others. And I wonder what that br
