The marks on Jesus
Children's Activity
This week's Gospel Lesson deals with Thomas and his desire
for proof that Jesus had risen from the dead. He didn't want to
take anyone else's word for it -- he wanted to see for himself.
This week's lesson has some interesting things to talk about with
children.
* First, there is the idea of the marks on Jesus' hands and
feet. The scars were proof to the disciples that it was really
Jesus walking and talking with them. In fact, at the beginning of
the reading Jesus greets the disciples and shows them his scars
for proof that Jesus had risen from the dead. He didn't want to
take anyone else's word for it -- he wanted to see for himself.
