Jesus Called Thomas
Text: Selected Passages
Pastor Highland Goodman
His name…. Thomas (Hebrew)….Didymus (Greek)….”the twin”
His occupation….probably a fisherman — John 21:1-2
His identity….called/chosen by Jesus — John 15:16
As we take a close look at the portrait of Thomas that John alone paints for us relating to his development as a disciple of Jesus Christ, there are some definite lessons to be learned…
And when the words of Thomas are applied to our lives, they should
REKINDLE AND REIGNITE OUR PASSION TO
__________ FOR CHRIST (John 11: 1-16)
(Matt. 10:38-39; Luke 11:26; Acts 15:26; Rev. 12:11)
REKINDLE AND REIGNITE OUR PASSION TO
__________ WITH CHRIST & TO
__________ FROM CHRIST (John 14:1-6)
REKINDLE AND REIGNITE OUR PASSION TO
__________ CHRIST (John 20:24-28)
So what ever happened to Thomas?
And our take away from our Risen Savior today is clear:
Like Thomas I called you….
Like Thomas…live for me…look for me…learn from me…worship me!
