April 12, 2015 Sermon

"You Don't Want to Miss This!"
The term "can't miss" is being used extensively these days. TV executives label shows and episodes as can't miss in an effort to spike ratings. Or with the NFL Draft coming up at the end of the month - you'll hear the gurus claim that some of the college prospects are "can't miss."
But what I really mean is this - have you ever found yourself in an amazing situation that tugged at your heartstrings as the best ever? I think it's safe to say we've all had "Can't Miss" moments. The birth of your first child; their first step; after a long hike - the view from the top of the mountain that is can't miss. And in some situations you or a friend may be the one exclaming, "You don't want to miss this!"
There was a "Can't Miss" event that took place on Easter Sunday as the disciples saw their Lord Jesus risen from the dead. And they made it clear they wanted the one disciple who wasn't there - Thomas - to not miss out on seeing Jesus alive when they said to him in v. 24 - "We have seen the Lord!" In other words, "You Don't Want to Miss This!"
Today, we continue our Easter season of worship that leads us to give many thanks and praise to Jesus.  We will see how Thomas’s doubts were put away and how Jesus comforted and commissioned his disciples and how he still does the same for you and me today.
