A Friend Who Learned to Believe HIGHLIGHTS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON By NEWMAN CAMPBELL (The International Uniform -*?sson on the above topic for May 9 is John 11:7-16, 20 19-29. the vlemory Verse being: Mark 5 36. 'Fear not; only believe ") WE KNOW very little about the Jisciple. Thomas Kxcept for these three episodes told us by John, we would hardly have heard of him, j except that he was one of the twelve. Now Lazarus, and his sisters | Mary and Martha, were warm friends of Jesus and their home was m Bethany Word was brought to Jesus from the sisters that Lazarus was *:ek. At the time He and H:s s were on the other side of J<t m. and He waited two days an 1 then told His disciples, "Let us go into Judea again." The disciples tried to dissuade Him, saying. Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and Thou goest thither again?" His answer was rather puzzling, meaning, probably, either that He would not die until His time came, or that He should take the oppor tunity when it came, by asking them if there were not 12 hours m the day. "If any man walk in the day. he stumbleth not. because he seeth the light of the world." Then He said. Our friend Laza rus sleepeth. but I g?\ that I may awake him from sleep." Not un derstanding. the ?: seiples an swered. "Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well." Jesus then told them plainly. "Lazarus is dead." He ( added. "And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe, neverthe- j less let us go unto him." Thomas Would Go With Jesus Then Thomas, who was called Pidymus, a Greek name meaning a twin, said to the rest. "Let us a!sc go. that we may die with Him." Thomas may have accepted and become resigned to the fact that his Lord would probably die in the cause, and he was willing to be with Him and die too He was c loyal and devoted friend. This episode and that succeeding it, of the raising of Lazarus from the dead, not included in our les son today, took place in January. A D 30, and the following April Jesus was crucified The next mention of Thomas is after the crucifixion and resurrec tion of Jesus. The disciples were gathered together in a room with the door closed because they feared their Jewish enemies who had killed Jesus. All were present, fj it is. except Judas Iscariot. who had betrayed Him and later killed himself, and Thomas. Suddenly Jesus appeared in their midst and said. "Peace be unto you." This, then, was con firmation of what had been told them, and which they wanted to believe, but hardly dared do so, that Jesus had risen from the dead. "And when He had so said. He shewed unto them His hands and His side. Then were the disciples glad, when th< \ saw the Lord." Glad seems an understatement, dcesn t it. at such a time? Then sa.d Jesus to them again. Peace be unto ;? u: as My Father hath sent Me. even so send I you." Then He breathed on them. and. said. Receive ye t! e Holy Ghost. Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever s.r .5 ye retain, they are retained." Thomas Doubts When the other disciples saw Thcmi> and told him they had seen the Lord h< said: "Except I shall see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of t!'e nails, and thrust my hand r.' ? His side, I will not believe " He probably wanted to believe, but his spirit doubted. Eight days Ifter this the disci ples wore again behind closed doors, and Thomas was with them this time. "Then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said. Peace be unto you." Then said He to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold My han is: and reaeh hither thy hand, and thrust it into My side: and be not faithless, but believing. "And Thomas answered, and said unto Him. My Lord and my God ' How humble, yet how glad and grateful must he have been. "And Jesus said unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen Me. thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed." Blessed indeed are they who cannot see the wonders of the spirit, but have the faith and cour age to believe they really exist. "Fear not. only believe," says our Memory Verse.
