This week, we turn to the familiar story of Thomas—the disciple who doubted that Jesus had really risen from the dead. Thomas is a sympathetic character because all of us at some level must deal with doubt. Our confidence is never as certain as the earliest disciples who saw Jesus. We must rely on their eye-witness testimony. But sometimes the world, the flesh, and the devil all conspire to rob us of our assurance that Jesus has risen from the dead. This week, we’ll use the story of Thomas to explore the tension between our own faith and doubt and the Savior who loves us through it all.
From Series: "Gospel of John: Jesus, Our Great High Priest"
This Sunday we return to the Gospel of John to see our great High Priest at work. First, in his prayer. And then in his atoning work on the cross. Over the spring we’ll walk with Jesus through the final hours of his earthly life and then experience the joy (and confusion) of his disciples when they discover that he has risen from the dead. Along the way we’ll gain a greater understanding of the heart of Jesus for you and me, as well as the goal of his redeeming work that stretches as far as the curse is found.
