2 Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • Why are the doors locked, and what are the first words Jesus says when he stands among the disciples?

2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

   • What fear has you behind locked doors right now, and what are you hiding from?

3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

   • What door will you open this week because the risen Jesus stands with you?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Like Thomas, who needs to see evidence that Jesus is alive — and how could your peace be part of that evidence?

3 Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
