Zeke's talk in church today. He didn't read it.
On the first Easter two apostles were on the road. They saw Jesus. Jesus told the apostles to go tell the others. They were in a room with the door shut. Thomas wasn't there. Jesus appeared in their midst. The apostles told Thomas that Jesus had risen. Thomas didn't believe them.
They were again in a room with the door shut. This time Thomas was there. Jesus appeared in the midst. Jesus told him, "Be not faithless but believing."
I believe that Jesus is real and that he has risen from the dead.
