John 20:24-31 Life for the sceptical The risen Jesus 4 John 20:24-31 Life for the sceptical

When you miss out

God’s timing is not our timing A whole week goes by Thomas the realist Thomas the person who likes plain speaking God let Thomas think wrongly for a whole week In doing that Thomas becomes the champion of everyone who struggles to believe

God hears everything Thomas spoke the words to the other disciples but Jesus answers him when He appears Jesus was doing what we know God does

Jesus speaks peace ‘Peace’ a blessing Peace is to all Peace is not just the absence of strife, but a positive presence that adds to our sense of wholeness and breeds contentment Peace is to all

Jesus answers the most important questions Thomas needed more The more you need, the more will be expected of you as a response Others need less And God will make them happy and content and whole as they accept Jesus

God’s call is for you to have life John has written all these things, and left more out, so that the reader might believe and have life What else do you need to come to faith?

Jesus is risen A truth worth believing A truth worth living for A truth worth dying for A truth worth exploring
