Thomas refused to believe Jesus had risen unless he could see the wounds for himself.

Instead of rejecting Thomas for his doubt, Jesus met him in it. One week later, Thomas went from “I will never believe” to one of the clearest declarations about Jesus in the entire Gospel: “My Lord and my God.”

In this episode of Bible Bible Bible, we walk through John 20:19 to 31 and explore doubt, the resurrected body of Jesus, the mission of the Church, the Holy Spirit, and why John says he wrote his Gospel in the first place.

Mary Magdalene sees the risen Jesus standing in front of her, but she does not recognize Him. She thinks He is the gardener.
But John may be showing us something much deeper.

In this episode of Bible Bible Bible, we walk through John 20:11 to 18 and explore Jesus as the true Gardener and second Adam, why Mary only recognizes Him when He calls her by name, and how the resurrection begins the restoration of God's creation.

We also look at the incredible picture of the mercy seat inside the empty tomb, why Jesus asks Mary, “Why are you weeping?”, and what it means that believers have been brought into the family of God.

Did Jesus really rise from the dead, or is there another explanation for the empty tomb?

In this episode of Bible Bible Bible, we walk through John 20:1-9 and examine the historical case for the resurrection. We look at the empty tomb, the eyewitness accounts, the women who first discovered it, the grave clothes, Jesus appearing after His death, and the dramatic transformation of His earliest followers.
We also examine other explanations such as grave robbery, hallucination, legend, and the idea that Jesus never truly died.
Because if Jesus really walked out of that tomb, it changes everything.
