#soap # John 20 ## Title: He Will Show Himself ## Scripture: (John 20:27) Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and examine my hands. Extend your hand and put it into my side. Do not continue in your unbelief, but believe.” (NET) ## Observation: Thomas has the unfortunate nickname of “Doubting Thomas.” Thomas realized what Jesus coming back from the dead would mean. That would mean Jesus was and is God. He couldn’t believe that just because others said it was true. He needed to believe it for himself. In this way, Thomas is someone we should admire. We should never believe something because someone else said we should. We should believe it because we have examined the evidence ourselves. There is nothing wrong with examining the evidence for Christianity. Here is the great news. Jesus wants to reveal Himself to you. If you will examine the evidence for Christianity, you’ll end up like Thomas. You will fall to your knees and declare that Jesus is Lord of all. ## Application: If you are dealing with doubts, don’t let them cause you to walk away from Christianity. Lean in and watch what God will do. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for revealing Yourself to us.
