REFLECTION QUESTIONS:

1. The story of God’s work begins and reaches a climax in a garden. Mary thought that Jesus was the man who tended the garden near the tomb. In Genesis 2, it is the first humans who set about to tend the garden. In John 20, Jesus rises victorious and appears to take on the posture of a gardener. How does this appearance transform the curse in Genesis 3? Is Jesus able to bring transformation to the areas of your life where you feel cursed?

2. Jesus comes back to see Thomas and gives him the physical evidence he seems to need in order to believe. Have you struggled with unbelief? Have you labored under the guilt of having that struggle in the first place? What if you offered your doubts to Jesus and asked him to give you what you need to believe? Would he love you as much as he loved Thomas?
