The Cross: Justice Fulfilled – Ep 02
John 20:24-29

April 5, 2026

When the news of the resurrection first spread among the disciples, Thomas could not believe it. After everything he had seen—the crucifixion, the suffering, the finality of death—hope felt impossible. He demanded proof, insisting he would not believe unless he could see and touch the wounds himself. Yet despite his bold skepticism, Thomas returned to the gathering of the disciples a week later, revealing a quiet tension within him: doubt wrestling with the possibility that the story might not be over. Then Jesus appeared. Instead of rebuking Thomas, he met him in his questions and invited him to see for himself. In a moment, Thomas moved from resistance to worship, declaring, “My Lord and my God.” His story reminds us that faith does not begin with certainty, but often with honest questions. Easter invites us into that same journey—from doubt to belief—where an encounter with the risen Christ transforms skepticism into trust.
