Kirk Reflections 27th April 2025.

Revd. Erick du Toit brings this week's reflection from Kirkliston Parish Church, Scotland.

“But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.”
(Isaiah 53:5)

On the Second Sunday of Easter, we look at the story of Disciple Thomas seeking proof of Christ’s resurrection. Remarkably, Jesus does show him his scars and the wounds inflicted on him. 
What does this mean? Jesus resurrected still carrying the signs of his crucifixion… but why?
How should it impact my personal journey with the Lord?
