This lesson describes Jesus’ first post-resurrection appearance to His gathered disciples behind locked doors. Though they were fearful and doubting, Jesus greeted them with peace rather than condemnation. He proved the reality of His resurrection by showing His scars and even eating fish in their presence, demonstrating that His was a real, glorified body—not a ghost. Special attention is given to Thomas, who honestly voiced his doubts and later confessed Jesus as “My Lord and my God” when confronted with the risen Christ. The lesson highlights Jesus’ patience, grace, and willingness to meet His disciples in their weakness. Key truths are that Jesus welcomes our questions and failures, but He will never fail us; His scars are not reminders of pain but everlasting symbols of His love and redemption.
