Discussion Questions – John 20:19-31

1. Thomas had doubts that Jesus really did rise from the dead even after his friends told them they saw him. Is it ok to have doubts or be skeptical when seeking the truth about who God is?
2. Why does God want our understanding of Him to be based on the scriptures, His Word, rather than solely on what someone else says or even what you physically see?
3. What does it mean to have life in His Name?
4. “I have come so that you may have Life and have it abundantly” John 10:10
   “that by believing you may have life in His Name” John 10:10
   Read John 20:30-31
