Read John 20:19-29 with your family.

It is okay to ask questions when it comes to Jesus and believing. The people who knew Jesus in person had questions too.

In this story we hear about Thomas, commonly known today as “Doubting Thomas”. He wanted to see Jesus, talk to Jesus and touch Jesus in order to believe that he had risen from the dead. Thomas is like most of us who have a hard time believing unless we see and experience what has happened. That is not a bad thing at all.

But Jesus reminded him, and through Thomas all of us, that believing and seeing does not have to go together, and that there is something special about believing through the stories of others. God works in all of us.
