John 20:28-29

What if you received a personal invitation to spend the evening dining with Jesus Christ? And could ask Him all those questions no one else seems to be able to sufficiently answer? Would His responses open your ‘Doubting Thomas’ eyes?

“…Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe” John 20:25 (ESV).

Jefferson Moore and Shane Sooter have adapted David Gregory’s novel “Dinner With a Perfect Stranger” creating a thought-provoking film meant to dispel each and every doubt the world has, not to mention those the cynical, the nominal or ‘in name only’ Christian may have as well.

Jefferson Moore steps into the character of Jesus Christ as He spends the evening dining with Nikki, a perfectly put together, in control, and successful by all the world’s standards career woman, wife and mother, yet who has built up anger, even hostility, due to her assuming childhood tragedies were all proof God didn’t really care. So why did she need God? More importantly, why did she need Jesus Christ in her life?

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me” Revelations 3:20 (ESV).

Should you be blessed with the opportunity of spending an evening dining alone with Jesus Christ, what would you ask Him? As the evening came to a close, would He still seem a perfect stranger to you? Would your heart soften? More importantly, would you choose to believe?

“Thomas answered him, ‘My Lord and my God!’ Jesus said to him, ‘Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed'” John 20:28-29 (ESV).
