Doubting Thomas

Done!

[grace-of-spades1]

god is dead and gone and you’re just another statistic of religious brainwashing. Rip 🙏🏻

And you’ll never even know. You can’t even wake up

Dear Jesus,

I pray over this one man or woman who doubts. kinda reminds me of doubting Thomas. Please work in his or her heart, let them know who you are rather than who they perceive you as.

Thanks and Amen.

Friend, I don't know your situation. Maybe you might have had a bad experience with religious people. I dunno. But Jesus had problems with them too. Crumbs, they killed Him. But He rose on the third day and forgave all sin. He wants a relationship with you. It's not a religion. Not a scam.

There's plenty of proof of His existence too, it's fascinating!

If you wish to talk more, you can message me!

God bless!

-Grace

You want to have unwavering faith? Learn from demons and lepers

In the Gospel of Mark, we encounter extraordinary examples of faith in unexpected places- a demon and a man with leprosy.

Mark 1:23-24(NIV)> Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an impure spirit cried out, “What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”

The title "Holy One of God" shows Jesus' special status and divine power, even recognized by demons.

It's surprising and important that a demon acknowledges who Jesus is, showing His true power.

While many people struggled to understand Jesus, the demon knew right away.

If even demons can see who Jesus is, we should confidently affirm our faith in Him as the Holy One of God.

Mark 1:40(NIV) >A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”

The leper's use of "if" shows he fully believed in Jesus' power. He didn't doubt Jesus could heal, he knew it for sure. The question was whether Jesus would choose to do it for him personally.

If a leper could have so much faith in Jesus' power, how can we not? This challenges us to trust Jesus' ability and have faith in His decisions for our lives.

If demons and lepers could have such faith in Christ, how much more should we, who have been redeemed and made righteous by His blood?(Romans 5:9) Let us be encouraged by their example and approach Jesus with unwavering faith, knowing that He is able and willing to meet our needs.

Do you every think about how God allowed Christ's hands and side to stay scarred just for Thomas, like we didn't need that, it's simply symbolic to us. Only Thomas did, he needed to see it to believe, he needed it to fuel his witness, God may have rebuked him for doubting, but he still made sure he had the proof he needed. That was his.

Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side

“Thomas it's real. Stick ur finger through it.” a quick (low quality) Easter sketch before I go to church.

genuinely only realized it was both Easter and TDOV after designing 2/3 of these

Thomas: It takes a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, a day to love someone. But it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Andrew: Simon forgot me at the market once.

'Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe'

Artist Ian Stone says he was inspired by Caravaggio's Doubting Thomas, a painting of the apostle who refuses to believe Jesus has returned from the dead until the risen Christ personally invites him to insert his hand into the spear wound in his side. The doubter in Stone's 2023 painting seems to be accepting a trans person's identity.

"The realism I work in is as real as trans people have always been," Stone says, "and we will look back at this discrimination and bigotry in the same shameful way we have with any other human rights issue."
