Let the world give thanks for the record of Jesus’ appearing to Thomas! For when Jesus appears to Thomas, answering each protest with the evidence of his suffering and love, he appears to you also. Many of us wish that Jesus would appear to us as he did Thomas. The point is that he did! He appeared to Thomas for our sake, that we may believe. In fact this is the purpose of John’s writing of the Gospel, that world may know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and have life in his name. This sermon was preached from the isolation of my home, in union with the body of Christ around the world join in Spirit and Truth on Sunday, April 19th, 2020.
