Hope for the Cynic (John 20:24-31) [Jay Thomas]

He is Risen! Easter is for everyone, including cynics. You would think that cynics have no place in the kingdom. Granted, they are sometimes hard people. I know. I am one of them. But God has a special place in his heart for the cynical. You see, I think folks who struggle with cynicism don't deny the fact of truth and sincerity. The dilemma is that certain people hunger for truth and sincerity so much that this world full of hypocrisy, superficiality, triviality, and falsehood has broken their hearts. But when a cynical person finally sees in such a way that they can believe the One who is Truth, those folks often become the most compelling, positive, and winsome people around. Cynics are often one True Sighting away from having a soft heart, a firm foundation, and a beautiful life.
