Doubt to Belief - John 20:19-31

Mar 31, 2024    Mike Burt

What does it take for you to doubt? The experiences of others or the criticism of a friend? How about any circumstances that go against your expectations? Following the death and burial of Jesus things had gone about as bad as the could have gone – healer of sickness and the one raising the dead was now dead Himself! Had He misled them? Did they misunderstand? Was Rome right? Were the Sanhedrin right? Is He really dead?

 

Just about the time they began to accept the very sad reality of Jesus death, an unbelievable story was brought to them by one of the women in their fellowship – He is alive! Jesus’ death seemed implausible and now His resurrection seems impossible! Any fair-minded man would doubt and we find Thomas way past that in full pout. How did Jesus bring this pouting doubter to shouting faith? Easter did it! Join us Easter morning as I retell this story of Doubt to Belief from the story of the Risen Lord and Doubting Thomas.


He is Risen – He is Risen Indeed!


See you Easter Sunday, 

Pastor Mike
