Is Jesus alive today? How do we know?
Remind kids that Jesus is alive! Tell kids that we have proof He rose from the dead because He appeared to over 500 people and the Gospel writers recorded these events. Encourage kids to remember that just because we cannot see Jesus does not mean He is not alive. Tell kids that Jesus is the King who is ruling from heaven and will come back to earth one day.
Why did Thomas eventually believe Jesus is alive?
Discuss how Thomas believed Jesus is alive after he saw Him and was able to touch Him. Remind kids that Thomas called Jesus his Lord and his God. Encourage kids to remember that we can know Jesus like Thomas and believe that He is Lord and God.
What do you believe to be true about God even though you have not seen Him?
Answers will vary. Discuss how we can know many truths about God through His Word. Tell kids that when we read Bible stories we learn how God keeps His promises, is faithful, trustworthy, and patient. Encourage kids to remember that God loves us and offers us forgiveness through His Son, Jesus. Tell kids that anyone who trusts in Jesus will one day see Him and live with Him forever.
