The final chapter of the Gospel of John 20:19-31 presents us with the aftermath of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The disciples are locked away in fear, questioning their faith, filled with doubt, and shrouded in anxiety. However, Jesus enters their midst with a word of peace to alleviate fears, visible wounds that address their doubts, and a divine commission that provides them with purpose. In this sermon, I explore how the risen Christ meets us in our fear, empowers us with His Spirit, and lovingly responds to our doubts. Centered on the story of the disciples, particularly Thomas, we are reminded that honest fears, doubts, and questions are not barriers to faith but often the path to deeper belief. Ultimately, this passage calls us to trust in the testimony of the resurrected Christ and to embrace the life found through believing in His name.
