Bible Study: About Thomas

This story about Thomas is similar to many attitudes today. Share it with your Sunday School, Kids Club and Devotions group.

Thomas was not the sort to believe everything people told him.
He said, He wouldn’t believe Jesus was alive unless he saw him with him own eyes and put his finger in the marks in Jesus hands where those thick metal nails had hammered him to the cross.
He also wanted to touch the place in Jesus side where the soldiers spear pierced him.

The soldier had wanted to make sure that Jesus on the cross was really dead.

Now everything had changed.

Some people were so excited.
If Jesus was alive what would happen now?
Some of Jesus friends were scared.
If they killed a good man like Jesus what would they do to his friends?

Jesus’ friends were having a secret meeting in the upstairs room because they didn’t want to be arrested too.
The doors and even the windows were locked for safety.
Thomas was there too.

Then another strange thing happened.
Jesus was suddenly there in the room and he noticed Thomas immediately.
"Thomas.’ he said, ‘Put your finger into my hands and side.”
