Jesus appears to Thomas
• Skepticism – far too many are skeptical of Him
• Many will not believe, others reject His message
• For many their doubt is dishonest – based on morality!

Jesus appears to Thomas
• “Blessed are those who have not seen, yet have believed.” (29)
• Do we believe? •Heb. 11:1, 2 Cor. 5:7• Our faith is not blind – Ac 1:3, Jn. 20:30-31, Rom. 1:20 BUT it still requires faith!

Jesus appears to Thomas
• Our faith is more than mere mental acknowledgement
• True faith acts and obeys
•James 2:14-26, Rom. 10:17• Will we say, “My Lord and My
God!”

Jesus appears to Thomas
• Thought: Consider what Thomas missed because he failed to assemble with his brethren that first Sunday! Heb. 10:25

Peter Restored• The original language adds to the
meaning - John 21:15-17• Jesus “Do you (ἀγαπάω) agapao
Me?” • Peter, “Yes Lord, you know that I
(φιλέω) phileo you”• First 2 times. Jesus is asking for a
sacrificial love, but Peter answers with affectionate friendship.

Peter Restored• Third time John 21:17• Jesus “Do you (φιλέω) phileo
Me?” • Peter was grieved, “Lord, You
know all things. You know that I (φιλέω) phileo you.”
• Jesus is building Peter up to willingly COMMIT to serving Him.

Peter Restored• Forgiveness
• We are all sinners Rom. 3:23, 1 John 1:8, 10
• Have we ever denied Him? Are we worthy? (Isa. 64:6, 59:2)

Peter Restored• Forgiveness
• God WANTS to forgive us Rom. 5:8, 1 Jn. 4:9-10. 2 Pet. 3:9, cf. Lk. 23:34
• Consider lengths Jesus went to restore Peter

Peter Restored• Forgiveness
• We can take confidence in passages like 1 John 1:9
• BUT, just like Peter, we must REPENT!

Peter Restored• “You follow Me”(vs. 22)• Don’t worry about what
happens to others – make sure you are ready (2 Cor. 5:10, Rom. 14:12)
• The power of example – Matt. 5:13-16
