Thomas is often labelled the doubting disciple, but Prof. Wright reinterprets John 20 to see Thomas as a model of very real faith, with consequences for all of our evangelism. Jesus’s action in this passage point to a God who meets us where we are, and respects our belief, however it comes about. Thomas is, after all, the first person in John’s Gospel to call Jesus God.To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.lightsource.com/donate/1749/29

Several of the Easter stories contain the hint that the disciples don’t quite recognize Jesus right away. In the story of the dinner at Emmaus, Luke provides us with the new way by which we recognize Jesus, the breaking of the bread among believers, and the warming of our hearts at the unfolding of the scriptures.To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.lightsource.com/donate/1749/29

People of Promise: Reflecting the Rhythms of Easter presents reflections to illuminate the themes of Easter and celebrate the risen Christ. Prof. N.T. Wright invites viewers to celebrate God’s raising of Jesus from the dead, as it is expounded in the Scriptures. We find ourselves, at this particular moment in the church’s year, "buried with the Messiah." Paul, too, found himself in this same spiritual position of waiting. In Romans 6, Paul unpacks this feeling. As believers "in Christ," we share in Jesus’s fate, dying and rising to the new Easter life.To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.lightsource.com/donate/1749/29
