Aim

To become familiar with the Gospel narrative.
To explore the theme of doubt.

Lesson

Begin by revising what was taught in the previous lesson. The Bible says that, at first, some of Jesus' friends could not believe that He had risen from the dead. One of these was a man called Thomas.

Share with children the story of Thomas (John 21:19-29).

Activity

Following discussion, groups of children could:

• write / talk about a time when they doubted someone or when someone doubted them
• think about their own beliefs concerning Jesus.
