G1 Doubt and Faith: Thomas famously doubted the resurrection until he could see and touch Jesus' wounds. How does Jesus respond to Thomas' doubt, and what does this teach us about the relationship between doubt and faith?
G2 The Peace of Christ: Jesus greets his disciples with the words "Peace be with you." What significance does this greeting have in the context of Jesus' resurrection, and how does it relate to the disciples' state of mind at that moment?
G3 Thomas's Experience: What do you think Thomas was feeling when he first heard about Jesus' resurrection from the other disciples? How might his doubts have been influenced by his experience of Jesus' crucifixion?
G4 Seeing and Believing: Jesus tells Thomas, "Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." What does this statement suggest about the nature of faith, and how might it encourage believers who have not witnessed Jesus' physical resurrection?
G5 Witness and Testimony: The Gospel of John emphasizes the importance of eyewitness testimony to Jesus' resurrection. How does the inclusion of Thomas's doubt and subsequent belief strengthen the credibility of the resurrection account?
