Michael Easley Sermons

Seeing and Believing (John 20:11-31)


Listen Later

Summary

In this sermon, Dr. Michael Easley addresses the reality of doubt in the Christian life, using the story of “Doubting Thomas” to encourage believers. He begins by acknowledging the many doubts people wrestle with—about the Bible’s truth, salvation, God’s justice, and the concept of hell—and candidly admits that he, too, has doubted.


Dr. Easley walks through the resurrection appearances of Jesus, starting with Mary Magdalene at the empty tomb. Mary initially looks for a dead body, not a risen Savior, illustrating how grief can cloud recognition of God’s work. When Jesus calls her by name, she finally recognizes Him—reminding us of His personal relationship with His followers.


Takeaways


  • Doubts are a common part of the faith journey.
  • Mary Magdalene's grief turns to joy upon encountering Jesus.
  • The physical resurrection of Jesus is significant for believers.
  • The Holy Spirit empowers the disciples for their mission.
  • Believing without seeing is a blessed state.
  • Grief can be transformed by faith in Christ.
  • Faith in Christ leads to joy and salvation.
