Any skeptics out there?
If, so, you’re in good company!
When the apostles had witnessed the risen Lord, Thomas was absent. He had missed out and remarked, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.” Was he disbelieving? No. Was he skeptical? Yes!
“It is no longer sufficient to hold beliefs just because you inherited them” New York Times best selling author Timothy Keller said. The apostle Thomas was not about to simply “inherit” the faith of the other apostles. He wanted to know for himself. And, Jesus obliged! Eight days passed and Jesus appeared to the disciples again but this time Thomas was present. Witnessing the risen Lord Thomas remarked, “My Lord and my God!”
This is a very special weekend. Easter IS for skeptics! Tell a friend. Bring a friend! We will be gathering for three special services, worshipping the risen Lord, and learning why faith in Christ is as sold as a rock!
