Thomas missed a meeting and so has forever become "Doubting Thomas." John, in his Gospel, tells us that Thomas was not with them when Jesus came and showed them His hands and His side. (John 20:19-29) Surely, if he had been there, he would never have doubted!
Today, our dear friend, Dawn Ross, taught a lesson at the ladies' prayer meeting and in it gave her dramatic and moving testimony. Those who were there were touched and strengthened by her words as well as by her Godly example. However, some missed the meeting. We can exclaim to them what a blessing the lesson was, but we are woefully unable to communicate the impact it had on us as a group. The exact dynamics of the meeting can never be recreated.
As believers God tells us not to forsake "the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is;..." In other words, "Don't miss a meeting!"

How TRUE! So often our attempts at explaining a remarkable event concludes with "Aww, you just had to be there." I'm just thankful that the sacrifice of Christ has purchased me a right of passage from death into life and the marriage supper of The Lamb.....I won't miss THAT meeting.
