Sunday April 23
1st Sunday After Easter
Bible Reading: John 20: 24 - 31
Topic: Walking By Sight
When Jesus first appeared
to the disciples, Thomas Didymus was not there.
When told by the other
disciples that they had seen the Lord, Thomas would not believe until he had
personally seen Jesus and touched Him.
He wanted to walk by
sight. Jesus satisfied his curiosity.
On the occasion of His
next appearance, the door of where the disciples were was closed as in the
first time, He appeared before them without any hindrance. Thomas personally
saw Jesus - the evidence of resurrection standing before him - and believed.
Are you "a
Thomas" of our time?
Are you one of those who
demand miracles or visible signs as evidence of God's Power?
Jesus expects you to grow
in faith which comes by hearing His Word (Rom. 10: 17)
"Faith is the
substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Heb. 11:
1)
By proclaiming Jesus as
His Lord and God Thomas was declaring his total submission to the Lordship of
Jesus over his life.
Is Jesus the Lord of your
own life?
Prayer:
Lord, help me to believe
without seeing, in Jesus Name, Amen
Memory Verse: John 20: 31
"But these are written
that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that
believing, ye might have life through His Name"
