Welcome to our service today. It is great to have you here and we would love to invite you to stay after the service and join us for tea and coffee.
Have you ever wished you could actually see Jesus, touch Him and hear His words? Are there times you have wanted to sit down with Him and get His advice? Often people will say that they won’t believe until they have seen Him in person. Thomas wanted Jesus’ physical presence. but God’s plan is wiser. He has not limited Himself to one physical body; He wants to be present with us at all times. Right now He is with us in the form of the Holy Spirit. We can talk to Him and find His words to us in the pages of the Bible. He can be as real to us as He was to Thomas.
Jesus wasn’t hard on Thomas for his doubts. Despite his skepticism, Thomas was still loyal to the believers and to Jesus Himself. Some people need to doubt before they believe. If doubt leads to questions, questions lead to answers and the answers are accepted, then doubt has done good work. It is when doubt becomes stubbornness and stubbornness becomes a life-style that doubt harms faith.
With love & blessings
