Back From The Dead

By Max Lucado at maxlucado.com

 “Thomas said, ‘I will not believe it until I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were.’”  John 20:25

 Jesus gave Thomas exactly what he requested. He extended his hands one more time. And was Thomas ever surprised. He did a double take, fell flat on his face, and cried,

“My Lord and my God!” (John 20:28).

Jesus must have smiled. He knew he had a winner in Thomas . . . Legend has him hopping a freighter to India where they had to kill him to get him to quit talking about his friend who came back from the dead.
