Keep in Mind: “Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my sid: and he not faithless, but believing.” (John 20:27, KJV)

Unifying Lesson Principle: In the face of doubts, many people will seek out solid evidence or proof. What source of evidence is persuasive enough to address our doubt? John indicated that after Thomas received evidence from Jesus, his doubts were relieved, and his faith was restored.”

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to 1. Assess Thomas’s role in the pattern of Christian discipleship that passes from one faithful witness to the next. 2. Consider the role of doubting and questioning for one’s own faith. and 3. Practice telling your testimony to others.
