The sermon "A Trusting Thomas" by Kevin Thacker focuses on the narrative of Thomas in John 11, exploring themes of faith, doubt, and the love of Christ. Thacker argues that Thomas, often labeled as "Doubting Thomas," actually demonstrates significant trust and a longing to stand with Jesus, even in the face of danger. He references John 11:16, where Thomas expresses a willingness to die with Christ, which encapsulates the believer's call to trust Christ amid uncertainty. Additionally, Thacker emphasizes the resurrection narrative as a foreshadowing of his own spiritual awakening, comparing Lazarus' death and resurrection to the believer's transition from death in sin to life in Christ, highlighting the doctrines of election and regeneration. The practical significance lies in the assurance that, despite human doubts, believers are secure in Christ's love and His divine plan for their lives.
“Our Lord prayed, Father, the hour has come. Glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son may also glorify Thee.”
“Lazarus is dead, and I’m glad, for your sakes, that I wasn’t there.”
“He’s just asleep. I know your pastor’s preached on that a few times, but the sleep of the saints is precious, isn’t it?”
“He’s going to have to come to where I am. He’s going to have to come to you personally and speak life to you and command salvation in His people.”
