Our minds should be in heaven; we should be hastening to get to our real home, where we’re destined to live. The place where we belong is in the heavens. This is where real Christians differ from the whole of the rest of the human race. There’s a big gap between the two.

He deigned to be touched This is why Chrysostom notes that Christ’s encouragement to Thomas to touch him and not be unbelieving but a believer isn’t merely a suggestion, but a rebuke. He says: ‘He used the words as a sharp reprimand’. ...
