9:04a Call to Worship Cordell

L: Faith never comes easy. Thomas, a faithful disciple of Jesus, doubted the post- Pugh
Resurrection appearance and needed to see Jesus for himself.
P: How we are like Thomas! We sometimes think we need to see to believe!
L: How blessed are the ones who have come to believe.
P: Lord, open our hearts so that we may believe in Christ even when we have not seen
him. AMEN.

Jesus appears to the disciples

19 It was still the first day of the week. That evening, while the disciples were behind
closed doors because they were afraid of the Jewish authorities, Jesus came and stood
among them. He said,

“Peace be with you.”

20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. When the disciples saw the
Lord, they were filled with joy. 21 Jesus said to them again,

“Peace be with you. As the Father sent me, so I am sending you.”

22 Then he breathed on them and said,

“Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are forgiven; if you don’t
forgive them, they aren’t forgiven.”

24 Thomas, the one called Didymus,[a] one of the Twelve, wasn’t with the disciples when
Jesus came. 25 The other disciples told him,

Congregation: “We’ve seen the Lord!”

But he replied,

“Unless I see the nail marks in his hands, put my finger in the wounds left by the nails, and
put my hand into his side, I won’t believe.”

26 After eight days his disciples were again in a house and Thomas was with them. Even
though the doors were locked, Jesus entered and stood among them. He said,

“Peace be with you.”

27 Then he said to Thomas,

“Put your finger here. Look at my hands. Put your hand into my side. No more disbelief.
Believe!”

28 Thomas responded to Jesus,

“My Lord and my God!”

29 Jesus replied,

“Do you believe because you see me? Happy are those who don’t see and yet believe.”

30 Then Jesus did many other miraculous signs in his disciples’ presence, signs that

aren’t recorded in this scroll. 31 But these things are written so that you will believe that
Jesus is the Christ, God’s Son, and that believing, you will have life in his name.
