“Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe”.. My LORD and My GOD.. always and forever, not only when I’m in distress. Thank you, Lord for being who you are and for loving me, a sinner.
Beautiful. I’ve never felt that Thomas was any less of an apostle. He was only asking for what the others had seen and been a part of. Why is that so bad? Who knows where he was during the initial gathering. If anything he may have felt left out. The Savior in his tender mercy answers and loves the one.
Hi Eric, so true, all of us do have moments of doubt just as Thomas. We also don’t want to be labeled based on one moment in time. Jesus appeared to the disciples who were in the upper room and spoke peace unto them and then showed them his hands and side. The disciples were glad. However., after this event is where I think Thomas being labeled comes in. After the disciples tell Thomas that they saw the Lord, its more than normal for Thomas to want to see him as well. However, Thomas continues to say to the disciples, except I see in his hands the print of the nails, put his finger in the print of the nail and thrust his hand in his side he will not believe. The text in John 20 does not indicate that when Jesus showed himself to the other disciples that they needed to do all those things to believe it was Jesus. The text indicates that Jesus stood in the mist and shewed them his hands and side and they were glad. The text does not indicate that the other disciples even asked to see his hands and side. Jesus simply showed them. Thomas on the other hand made it plain that in order for him to believe it was Jesus he would need to do those 3 things I listed which is why I think Brother Thomas gets a bad rap. This is just my take. You got to love Thomas in my opinion for his boldness and honesty.
Looking forward to asking Thomas where he was when he missed seeing the resurrected Jesus the first time and how he was feeling in the whole week of silence till he did see Him. We are looking at this passage on Sunday coming. One of my favourite moments in the gospel. Also to know that Jesus heard every word Thomas had said the week before without being physically present. So blessed to have such a wonderful account of our brother Thomas and how Jesus is so compassionate and loving with him. Blessings to you and yours ❤🙏🏼
Jesus KNEW Thomas would not be there, but He chose that time anyway. I believe He did it in order to provide this teaching moment to Thomas. This was no accident.
Thomas is my favorite apostle! My sons name is Thomas. When i was pregnant with him, i found God❤️ We were at church and the pastor was talking about Thomas, and my baby started kicking like crazy (one of the first times he kicked)
So masterfully shared, these “messages.” I love the art, Bible Videos, and contemporary people. Most of all, I appreciate how they get me thinking anew about my Redeemer, His teachings, and His Atonement. Thank you so much.
Corey, thank you for the kind words, and I'm so happy to hear you have enjoyed the videos! I put a lot into them, so it is always nice to know people appreciate them! Have a blessed day!
As a catholic boy my faith was wavering as I became a rebelous teen and my mother said bite your tounge. You are a doubting Thomas and proceeded to tell me this very same story. It changed my life and opened my mind and heart to the lord as I know this to be true. 40 years later it is just as powerful.
@Co Occo I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. If you are asking in an attempt to change my mind or "witness" to me against my faith, I ask that you please don't. I am Extremely Happy & strong in my Faith with Jesus Christ. Yes, I know all the history. I know everything you might say. I researched the church for years!! I respect your beliefs so please respect mine. Thank you. Have a Beautiful day & God bless you!!!!!😍🙏💙
So much damage has been on a man and to the Religious world by the first utterance that Thomas was doubting and so much truth went unspoken. I find there is so much to be learned about characters less written of in scripture that the truly seeking eye and heart find, understands and cherishes.
I'm so grateful for your labor of love in producing these videos. I use them often in my teaching, activities, and just for my personal study. You have many gifts--thank you for sharing them to bless all of us!
Just today I speak with my sister about Thomas.... That I don't understand his behavior.... Because I so him (by the way Bible present him) unbeliever 😔so with this video.... I had the answer!!!! God bless you!!! From France🇫🇷
Everyone says "Doubting Thomas", I SAY, Thomas was just wanting to know the truth, loved his beloved "Rabbi" and would accept no substitutes. He was also the first who wanted to die WITH Jesus, because the thought of living without his beloved "Rabbi" was more than Thomas could bear. You may say Thomas doubted, you may say John was the "Apostle Jesus loved", but Thomas, I believe, was the disciple "who loved Jesus"....And , dare, I say it, he loved him more than his own life itself. And did he "doubt"? Might I ask, have all of us had our times of doubt? And, perhaps more importantly, "Do you love him any less for it?"
Thank you M O Christ, this is beautiful. Very much appreciated. Thank you Jesus for saving my son's life and my family and my marriage and my life ❤️✝️

JESUS IS MY LORD AND MY GOD. MY SAVIOUR. LORD I PRAY FOR ALL HUMANITY THAT YOU MAY TOUCH ALL OUR HEARTS THAT WE MAY KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE TRUE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY. CREATOR AND RULER OF EVERYTHING.
Thank you brother Daniel for these beautiful messages, I'm grateful for your love and testimony of the Savior; I've been enriched greatly in my scripture reading since I have new 'lenses' to study. I love your comments and I am thankful for your great work. ❤️💕
It was on an evening in 1999, when I found myself in the emergency room of The Holy Cross Hospital, Silver Springs, Maryland. I had puncture wounds in both of my wrists (not self inflicted), and as I was waiting for the doctor, the film about Jesus (starring Jeremy Sisto, Debra Messing, and others) was playing on the TV monitor. I watched the scene in it based on John 20:24-31, and right after the doctor showed up. 20 years later, I am at my brother's deathbed, and I was reading from 1 John to him, and singing to him as well; and standing by my side was my earliest childhood friend, Jonathan. Back in 1984, Jonathan was working for Prince when he made his 'Purple Rain' album, including the song-'I Would Die For You'. When I started to read John 11, my mother, who was also there at the time, got all upset and asked me to stop. Her name is Martha. Mother Martha (my mother, that is) has a best friend named Mary. They often have lunch together. My late brother, who was a musician, had a songwriting partner who was actually in the same room with Neil Diamond as he was working on the song-"I'm A Believer". I've gotten so many amazing signs and wonders, how could I have been a non-believer for so long? Indeed, blessed are those who've believed before they've seen! Amen.
I always hated the name "Doubting Thomas." It to me is an incredibly disrespectful epithet for an apostle of the Lord, because it summarizes his entire existence and legacy around a single week of doubt, completely disregarding the faith he must have had throughout his life.
Jesus Christ, the Lord, gave himself a ransom for all. By faith are we justified; and not by the law. For if we seek to fulfill righteousness through the law we shall perish. For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Therefore hath God begotten us a lively hope by the ressurection of Christ Jesus. And if ye be led of the Spirit ye abide in Christ. For Christ has fulfilled the law. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ he is none of his. As many of us who were baptized into Christ were baptized unto his death that we should live through Christ in us who is risen incorruptible. Now if any man have not been baptized into Christ he has yet to have an answer of a good conscience toward God. But if we indeed be baptized into Christ we then receive the answer of a good conscience toward God through the remission of sins. For it is written, blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven and whose sins are covered. For by our faith in the gospel we receive righteousness. For it is written, I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth. Blessed is the man who receives remission of sins by faith in the gospel. Even by baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. For even by the faith of a mustard seed, Naaman was cleansed of his leprosy when he dipped in the Jordan river seven times by word of the prophet Elisha. How much more shall we by faith, receive remission of our sins when we obey the word of the Lord? Blessed are the TRUTH seekers that have ears to hear, amen.
Oh, how I love this! For I have called myself many times in the past, mostly before I joined the church that I was “a doubting Thomas”! It is very well done this video! I loved hearing about Thomas and the different scriptures from John about Thomas, and the things Jesus said to him and what Thomas said... so appropriate for now, being that is good Friday, and we will be celebrating Easter this weekend, besides watch general conference.
I know how Thomas felt l have Never doubted the presence of the Lord our God aka Jesus Because doubt unfounded can take your Faith away and destroy your Salvation...Unbelief is an Unforgivable Sin...
We have the NT and history to look back on. "Hindsight" It is of note Thomas wasn't the only one who doubted the resurrection at first. Jesus also appeared alive to Cleopas and another on the road to Emmaus but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place. 22 In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning 23 but didn’t find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. 24 Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus.” Jesus said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?” 27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.
Do we know where Jesus was when he didn't appear during the forty days between the resurrection and the ascension? For example, where was Jesus in the week between appearing to the disciples when Thomas wasn't there, and appearing when Thomas was there? Sincere question from a believer✝️

Jesus is gentle, I love him.
No he’s not he is a Jew
JESUS is GOD😘
Jesus is God and the second person of the Trinity. Amen!
Indeed
Jesus was a Jew who came to the rescue of ungodly gentiles.
“Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe”.. My LORD and My GOD.. always and forever, not only when I’m in distress. Thank you, Lord for being who you are and for loving me, a sinner.
Yes that's true, hallelujah✝️💒🙏❤

Yup, that is what I feel. How many of us would not have felt the same way.

Thank you! I am working with some translators, but it will probably be awhile. Hopefully next year they can all be translated.
God bless you for sharing this video!!! Thank you all!! From Brazil!!!

War??? I don't think our savior likes wars. That is not a choice but a forceful choice given to soldiers by those in power.
I have done what is said 🙏

Apostle with clarification
We have the NT and history to look back on. "Hindsight"
It is of note Thomas wasn't the only one who doubted the resurrection at first.
Jesus also appeared alive to Cleopas and another on the road to Emmaus
but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place. 22 In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning 23 but didn’t find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. 24 Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus.”

Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?” 27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.
Hi

Turn impossible events into posdible

Tom in hebrew means innocent :)
