Focus Scripture –
John
20:19-31
When it was
evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house
where
the disciples had
met were locked for fear of the religious authorities, Jesus came and stood
among them and said, “Peace be with you.” After he said this, he showed them
his hands and his side.
Then the
disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you.
As God has sent
me, so I send you.” When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to
them,
“Receive the
Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you
retain
the sins of any,
they are retained.” But Thomas (who was called the Twin), one of the twelve,
was not with them
when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.”
But Thomas said
to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in Jesus’ hands, and put my finger
in the mark of
the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe.” A week later, the disciples
were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were
shut, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” Then Jesus
said to Thomas, “Put your finger here
and see my hands.
Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Be not unbelieving but believing.”
Thomas answered
him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to Thomas, “Have you believed because you
have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and
yet have come to believe.”
Now Jesus did
many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which
are not written in this book.
But these are
written so that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Child of
God,
and that through
believing you may have life in Christ’s name.
