Day 1- 01 THE STORY

Jesus goes above and beyond to give you proof that He rose from the dead. There was a man named Thomas who doubted that Jesus rose from the dead. Jesus had just resurrected and people saw Him. Thomas had not seen Him yet. When the others told him what had happened, he said he wouldn’t believe until he saw the scars on Jesus’ hand.
Read John 20:24-28
What is the first thing that Jesus did when He came in the house?
What did Jesus challenge Thomas to do? What did Thomas do?

Day 2- 02 THE WITNESS

God will always give you the information and proof you need to know that Jesus is the risen Savior. Thomas needed to see the scars on Jesus’ hands, so Jesus showed him. If you still are unsure about your need for Jesus, maybe take a minute to look at yourself. Jesus came to save people from their sins. If you don’t sin, then God wouldn’t need to send Jesus. Do you see sin in your life?
Read and write Romans 3:23
Does everyone sin or just a few people?
Circle the sin you have done:
Gossiped
Disobeyed your parents
Hurt someone with your fists
Hurt someone with your words
Thought something mean
Lied
Had a bad attitude
Thought of yourself first

Day 3- 03 THE SOURCE

Read and write out Romans 6:23
What do you deserve because you are a sinner?
What does Jesus give you instead?

Day 4- 04 THE MOTIVE

It is okay to be like Thomas and have doubts, as long as you look to Jesus for the answers. He will help you with your doubts because He wants you to know Him. Whenever you don’t understand something, ask Him about it when you pray.
He will help you understand.
Read James 1:5
What does God say He will give to you if you ask for it?
Write down a few questions that you have for God. Ask Him to help you today.
Take your questions to an older Christian and see if they can help you answer them.

Day 5- 05 CAUGHT IN THE ACT

Thomas got to see Jesus’ wounds healed. The scars were there, but he saw that Jesus was risen and alive! You don’t get to physically see Jesus’ wounds healed today, but you can hear how He healed another’s wounds. Ask someone who is walking with Jesus to share with you how Jesus healed their wounds. That might be the proof you need to believe!

Write down on your character sheet what you learned from the story of doubting Thomas.
