Passages from Luke 24:1-12
Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.”
from John 20:29

We all face disappointment with God when our hopes seem unmet, just like the disciples after Jesus' death. Thomas’ doubt shows how pain can harden our hearts, but his encounter with the risen Christ reminds us that God meets us even in our questions and renews our hope.
Through Jesus' resurrection, the fearful disciples were transformed into bold witnesses. Thomas’ journey from doubt to faith encourages us to stay connected, trust God’s greater plans, and be open to the amazing ways He works beyond our expectations.
He is risen! He is risen indeed!
