Bible Commentary

John 20:25

Thomas did not reject Jesus — he set conditions on his faith. He wanted what the others had: personal encounter. And Jesus, graciously, gave him exactly that.

Memory phrase: Jesus meets us where our doubt is.

Talk about it: Do you think Thomas was wrong to want to see for himself? What do you think about his honesty?

Prayer: Lord, I know You are patient with my doubts. Come and meet me where I am, just like You did for Thomas.
