Resurrection Appearances of Jesus
Jesus Came Into the Upper Room
Only 10 of the 12 were there, and the women and others.
Judas was of course missing because he had left the group and betrayed Jesus.
But now we read,
Thomas Was Absent
The Disciples Gave Witness of Jesus
The others needed to see Jesus before they accepted Mary’s testimony that she had seen the Lord.
Thomas Demanded Proof
We read this from our side of the Cross.
And we read it knowing the beginning of the book:
John 1:1 “1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
John 1:18 “18 No one has ever seen God.
The one and only Son, who is himself God and is at the Father’s side—he has revealed him.”
Is Thomas A Doubter?
We rail on Thomas as a doubter.
In reality, John records that
Thomas is Unbelieving
“Unless I see and touch I will never believe.”
THIS IS THE SAME PROOF THE OTHERS ALREADY RECEIVED:
The Others Also Doubted
The Others Already Got What Thomas Wants:
AND STILL THEY DOUBTED:
A Whole Week Later
Thomas is There
And Jesus showed up again, same setting.
Thomas Sees What the Others Already Saw:
Thomas Believes and Testifies Who Jesus Is
This is the testimony that echoes
John 1:1 “1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
John 1:18 “18 No one has ever seen God.
The one and only Son, who is himself God and is at the Father’s side—he has revealed him.”
Jesus Blesses All Who Believe
Because We Have Believed the Testimony
The Purpose of This Gospel is Our Faith
The Purpose of Faith is Life
The Same Life Jesus Prayed We Would Get
