A sermon on John 20:24-29, the risen Jesus appearing to doubting Thomas. Thomas wants proof. Dcn. Derek reads the demand as the universal instinct to fit resurrection into the world we already understand. Drawing on David Brooks's How to Know a Person and the "invisible gorilla" experiment, Dcn. Derek argues that the Spirit Jesus breathed on the disciples was the gorilla Thomas could not yet see. Resurrection life runs on power, and faith is how we live from it.
