Thomas saw Jesus John 20:19-29
Bible Story Brief -
• Jesus’ disciples were afraid. They thought the men who had hurt Jesus might hurt them, too. In the evening, the disciples went to a room in a house and locked the doors. While they were in the room, Jesus came in. He was in the room with them!
• The disciples were happy to see their friend Jesus! Jesus told the disciples not to be afraid. Then He said, “God sent Me to tell people that He loves them. Now I am sending you to go many places and tell people about God’s love. God will help you. He wants you to forgive people when they do wrong things. ”The disciples listened to everything Jesus told them.
• Not all of Jesus’ disciples were in the room that night. The disciple named Thomas was not there. When the other disciples saw Thomas later, they told him what had happened. “We have seen Jesus!” the disciples told Thomas. Thomas said, “I won’t believe that Jesus is alive until I see Him and touch Him!”
• Eight days later, all of the disciples were in a room together, including Thomas. Again the doors were locked, but Jesus came into the room and stood with the disciples. He told them not to be afraid. Then Jesus told Thomas, “Reach out your hand and touch Me. I want you to know that I am alive.”
• Thomas looked at Jesus and replied, “You are Jesus, God’s Son!”
• Jesus told Thomas, “You believe that I am alive because you can see Me. Many people believe I am alive even though they have not seen Me.”
