Thomas Believed
After Jesus' resurrection, He appeared to His disciples in a locked room, but Thomas was not there. The other disciples told Thomas that they had seen Jesus. Thomas said he would not believe unless he saw Jesus and touched the nail scars in His hands. A week later, Jesus appeared to the disciples again. He invited Thomas to touch Him, and Thomas believed. (John 20:19-31)
Do you realize to what extent God has gone to convince you to believe on His Son? The whole book of John was written for that particular purpose. The miracles of Jesus, the teachings of Jesus, His glorious resurrection, the witness of the Spirit, the existence of the church... in one way or another, God intended all of this to point you to faith in Christ. Believe in His eternal divinity. Believe in His humanity, innocence and perfection. Believe that He died in your place. Believe that He is alive today!
This morning a dear friend passed away. Miss Alice Bennett was a kind and sweet soul who always treated me so generously. She was a faithful member of GBC. And of course, you can't join Grace Baptist Church without professing faith in Jesus Christ, so I expect to see her again. She believed in the same Jesus I do. We will meet again.
