What would you reverse if you had the power to do so? What if death could be reversed? It seems so final. Some people have said that we cannot know because no-one has come back from the dead to tell us. In the passage, however, we see that Jesus did come back to life. We could say that a great reversal was brought about by the great reverser.

In the Gospels we have eye witness accounts testifying to the truth of the resurrection. These are written in such a way that shows it actually happened. In the Scriptures we also have the amazing words…’everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him will have eternal life and I will raise him up on the last day’.

Jesus invites investigation. One of his disciples, called doubting Thomas, was not convinced that Jesus had actually risen from the dead. He wanted proof. Jesus met with him and the other disciples about a week after he had risen. He asked Thomas to put his finger into the holes in his hands and reach into his wounded side. Thomas then believed. The great reverser brings about the great reversal.
