Before Jesus ascended into heaven, He appeared to His disciples one last time to give them their marching orders. They were to go into all the world and tell everyone about the good news that Jesus had died for their sins and rose from the dead. And that’s exactly what they did. They told everyone they could about Jesus. Then those people told people. Then those people told people. Then someone told you.

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!
