Questions about God and His Word are natural. When questions come, we shouldn’t be afraid to ask them in honest humility.
Join Chuck Swindoll as he brings to life this powerful passage and explains how Mary and all believers can experience greater comfort than can possibly be imagined…because there would be no more final goodbyes…forever.

In John 20:24–30, John described the stirring scene when Jesus appeared to His disciples—except for Thomas—following His Resurrection. Naturally, they were huddled in a closed room in fear for their lives.
Chuck Swindoll teaches the importance of following Jesus as diligent disciples. You will learn some valuable lessons from the story of Peter, who took his eyes off Jesus.
