Summary
They race to the tomb, it's a Simon Peter in the Gospel of John chapter 20, it's a Simon Peter came and went into the tomb, he saw the linen wrappings lying there and the cloth that had been on Jesus head, not lying with the linen wrappings but rolled up in a place by itself. And we want so badly to resemble the disciples here that are trying to convince the unbeliever of what we know, trying to convince the unbeliever of what we have seen, what we have experienced and we do resemble them. But remember these same disciples who are laboring so hard to convince Thomas of what they have seen, they had not believed themselves until they saw for themselves the risen Christ. All the disciples had the empirical proof, Jesus made sure that all of them saw him, that all of them touched him, that all of them without any doubt could proclaim exactly what they had seen and felt with their own eyes and hands. If you would please look with me at verse 28, Thomas answered him, my Lord and my God, my Lord and my God, this great proclamation of belief upon the lips of Thomas, he knew exactly, who Jesus is. Jesus, looking at verse 29, Jesus said to him, have you believed because you have seen me, blessed are those who have not seen, and yet have come to believe.
