"God's DVR" John 20:24-29 For some reason, Thomas was not with the other disciples when Jesus appeared to them after He had risen from the dead. He struggles to believe them when they told him they had seen Jesus alive. Jesus did a "re-play" a week later. This time Thomas was there, and Jesus showed Himself to him, and Thomas believed. We are blessed with the Word of God (the Bible) so that we can read over and over again about all of the things God would have us to know. The Bible is like "God's DVR."
