Pastor's sermon is based on John 20:19-31 and raises several questions: What if Thomas is holding out for proof that Jesus hasn’t come back separated from all of the wounds he had suffered for our sake? What if Thomas needs to see for himself that the Risen One is the same one who died—AND who hasn’t come back all healed up and good as new? Thomas isn’t just looking for physical proof of Jesus’ resurrection from the dead. He’s looking for more. He wants some proof that the one whom God has raised up is indeed the same one who was damaged beyond all human repair: The Crucified and Risen Christ.
