Nothing Left to See

John 20:28

Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!"

Thomas, once seeing the wounds of Jesus, proclaimed both his complete belief and complete submission to his Master when he spoke the words, "My Lord and My God."  All in one burst, Thomas asserts his interest in Jesus as his Lord, espouses his affection for Him and denotes his submission to Him.

We are all called to come to the same place where we finally "see" the total redemptive work of Jesus and fully submit to Him as Our Lord and Savior.  Nothing less is acceptable.  Anything less and our salvation is not attainable.  

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we thank you for the loving kindness, mercy and grace that You have provided us through the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus.  We pray that you will open our eyes so that we can see and fully appreciate the eternal value of Your Gift to us.  Lord, take us to a place in our lives where we tremble at the thought of Jesus Christ, Our Lord, Our Master and Our King.  May the Holy Spirit guide us and strengthen us so that there is nothing left in us that competes with our attention, our love, our praise or our service for Our Savior.  We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus.
