St Peters Orthodox Church

All of the disciples wanted to believe Christ had risen, but they doubted and struggled to believe it was possible. They doubted, that is, until they experienced Him after the Resurrection. Christ knew precisely what the disciples needed to strengthen and mature their weaker faith, and gift them with a greater faith. It is the same for all of us. Today we talk about the disciples experience moving from their doubts to belief. We are reminded today that we are to take the experiences we had with Christ our God, both in Lent and Holy Week, and carry them forward. We are not meant to go back to the way we were before, but to move forward; keeping all that Christ has done for us and revealed to us right in front of us. Christ disciples are always moving onward and upward as they follow their Living Lord.
