Sermon Text: John 20:27-29

Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.”And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”  Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

 

Introduction:
How does rappelling serve as a test of faith? What is a free hand? What purpose does a belayer play?

How can the person rappelling get the most out of their rappel?

 

Texts:
What are similar about the two texts containing interaction with Thomas? John 11 and 20

Why might John have taken so much of his gospel ‘space’ to include Thomas’ comments?  How is this connected to the resurrection?

What does Jesus mean when He talks about there only being 12 hours in the day?  What connection does He have to the light of day?

What kind of ‘evidence’ did Thomas have which he rejected as inadequate?  How does it compare to the evidence that we have?

What did the Jewish leaders do with the same evidence?

How did Jesus show mercy to Thomas despite his cynicism?

What is it that Thomas missed that Jesus doesn’t what us to miss?
