Thomas wasn’t with the other disciples when Jesus first appeared to them after His resurrection. When the others told him they’d seen the risen Jesus, he was understandably skeptical! He claimed he wouldn’t believe unless he could touch the holes in Jesus’ hands and feet and the wound in His side for himself. Jesus then appeared to Thomas and graciously obliged. We may not get to see Jesus the way Thomas did, but He still wants us to have faith in Him!

Jesus came to make a way back into relationship with God by dying on the cross and then rising again. Taking Him up on His offer is as easy as ABC. The A stands for admit – we admit we’ve sinned and are in need of forgiveness. The B stands for believe – we believe that Jesus died in our place and offers us eternal life. The C stands for choose – we choose to follow Him for the rest of our lives! 

Happy Easter! This weekend we are a celebrating the greatest event in human history – the resurrection of Jesus! The empty tomb declares that Jesus has defeated death once and for all. It declares that life – eternal life – is available in Him. It is the best news ever and we can’t wait to celebrate it with your children!
