John 20:25 The other disciples therefore said to him, We have seen the LORD. But he said to them… : — I. AN EVER DEEPENING SENSE OF SIN. See Isaiah (Isaiah 6:5); Job (Job 42:5, 6); Peter (Luke 5:8). II. AN EVER ENLARGING MEASURE OF JOY. See David (Psalm 4:6, 7; Psalm 16:11; Psalm 21:6), the disciples (ver. 20), the eunuch (Acts 8:39), the jailer (Acts 16:34). III. AN EVER ADVANCING DEGREE OF HOLINESS (2 Corinthians 3:18; 1 John 3:2, 3). IV. AN EVER STRENGTHENING RESOLUTION TO ENDURE. Like Moses (Hebrews 11:27); Paul (2 Timothy 3:11); Christ (Hebrews 7:2, 3). V. AN EVER GROWING DETERMINATION TO SPEAK FOR CHRIST (Acts 4:20). VI. AN EVER KINDLING DESIRE TO BE WITH CHRIST (Philippians 1:23). (T. Whitelaw, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. |
