v. 4,45 God uses even tragedy for good ultimate purposes.

v. 16 Don’t be too hard on yourself, or Thomas.  The Christian walk, like Thomas’, is not a straight line.  We have highs (v.16) and lows, as Thomas will discover later. Yet, we can be forgiven, and spend eternity with Christ, as with Thomas.

v. 21 God’s time is not our time!!

v.50-51 Note the irony of Caiaphus’ statement! 

v.52 Note:  “  ....gather into ONE” ( the ONE  Church founded by Christ.)
