Why do you or don’t you believe in Jesus?

Believe: trust, understand; more than just believe…to be persuaded (in vs 31, verb tense indicates continuous or repeated action—believing must continue, not a one-time event)

We see here 12 people who believed, but for different reasons…

1. John: believed at empty tomb
2. Mary Magdelene: Jesus called her by name
3. (John among them): Jesus came to them (25)
4. Thomas: refused until he saw Jesus (no one has such proof today)
