Devotional: John 20:24-31

Today’s passage: John 20:24-31

Helpful thoughts:

  • Thomas did not believe the report of the other disciples.  He wants to see and feel the physical body of Jesus.  Thomas implies the disciples saw some ghost or a figment of their imagination.  He believes they’ve made a mistake.
  • Eight days later, Jesus meets Thomas’ challenge.  He is truly alive, risen from the dead, in the flesh forevermore.
  • Thomas’ response is the response all readers need to give.  The only right response is to proclaim Christ as my Lord and my God!

Questions to consider:

  1. Why did the Apostle John write this book (Verse 31)?  Why would this book be a great thing to encourage unbelievers to read if they were willing to begin exploring the Bible?
  2. Why didn’t Thomas just say, “Jesus, my friend, your back!”?  Who is Jesus?  What did Thomas proclaim?  In what way is Thomas’ profession the climax of John’s gospel?
  3. What will you do with the evidence given to you?  You haven’t seen Jesus personally…you have read and heard these multiple eye-witness accounts.  Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.
