Episode Synopsis

Even after the resurrection, the disciples experienced a fair amount of confusion. Despite Jesus' predictions that He would be crucified, buried, and on the third day He would rise again, His own men found it very hard to believe that they were actually seeing the truly risen, flesh-and-blood Savior.In the last of a three-part lagniappe series looking at moments of betrayal and questioning among the followers of Jesus, I explore Thomas's well-known interaction with Jesus. In this message, I examine how critically important it is to stay part of the body of believers so that we do not allow isolation to breed spiritual confusion. I also explore the unforgettable words of Jesus in John 20:29b, "Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed," words that offer encouragement to each of us who today seek to walk by faith and not by sight.(RAR2025EP17)
