Thomas is kinda trite, right?
After Thomas makes his declaration Jesus steps in again and meets the need without recrimination. This is just like he did the first time he appeared to them in their "secret clubhouse".
Distraction: Upper room makes me think of a tree house or perhaps a Christmas tree fort. The Christmas tree fort was a hiding place for those in the know. And it had to be hidden or while we were gone other, bigger kids would come and take our trees and add them to their own fort.
Anyone remember Christmas tree forts? Eh?
OK back.
Jesus still does that for us now. He is very willing to meet our emotional needs and he never criticizes. This is a characteristic of God, who loves us that much. Only Satan accuses and condemns. Remember that, Satan tries to pretend to be God. If you get a little voice of your head condemning you, that is not God, that is Satan. Listen to God, all he wants to do is support you.
