Message 04/27/2025 - Doubting Thomas Believes It When He Sees It - Text: John 20:19-31

On Easter Sunday, Jesus appears to the disciples, but Thomas missed that first appearance. His response to the disciples seeing the resurrected Christ was basically saying, “I won’t believe it until I see it.” More specifically, he wanted to touch Jesus’ hands where the nails were and His side where the spear pierced Him. So, he would believe it when he saw it, and touched it. When Jesus shows up, again, it changes everything for Thomas. Sometimes, we treat God in this way as well. We will believe in Him, and who He is, only when He shows up and reveals Himself to us, otherwise maybe we will doubt Him just like Thomas, and the rest of the disciples, who believed because they saw.
