Again he said, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.” Then he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are forgiven. If you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.” One of the twelve disciples, Thomas (nicknamed the Twin), was not with the others when Jesus came. They told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he replied, “I won’t believe it unless I see the nail wounds in his hands, put my fingers into them, and place my hand into the wound in his side.” Eight days later the disciples were together again, and this time Thomas was with them. The doors were locked; but suddenly, as before, Jesus was standing among them. “Peace be with you,” he said. Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Put your hand into the wound in my side. Don’t be faithless any longer. Believe!” “My Lord and my God!” Thomas exclaimed. Then Jesus told him, “You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me.”

Can spirits interact with the living? Is there really such a thing as purgatory? Will there be pets in heaven? Popular pastor Randy Frazee offers Biblically-based answers to questions about life and death. Drawn from the book What Happens After You Die: A Biblical Guide to Paradise, Hell, and Life After Death.
Perhaps one of the most debilitating parts of life can be summed up in one word—doubt. Doubt can destroy faith, trust, belief, and confidence when it is left unchecked and unresolved. The disciple Thomas, and even John the Baptist, experienced doubt that could have shattered their faith and trust in Jesus. This plan shares with us how doubt by Jesus can bring about peace, faith, grace, and patience.
This three-day reading plan examines the qualities of the ultimate coach—Jesus—and what His team looks like as Christians come together for the common goal of the Gospel.
“Peace be with you!” It was a common greeting in Jewish culture, and the offer of peace carried with it a sense of wholeness, balance, togetherness, and God’s blessing. Yet when Jesus offered His peace, the greeting meant so much more. Join Peyton Jones for clear explanation and careful application as we explore one of the Bible’s more important themes.
