I’m the Evidence

"We are the living evidence that grace still works, that God still heals." In this message, we learn about how the scars we carry aren’t signs of shame or defeat but living proof that God still heals, redeems, and writes grace into every story.

Message Notes

...Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands… be not faithless, but believing.
— John 20:24–27

We all have scars we’d like to hide. But our scars can be messages of hope.


  1. Life Leaves Marks

Except I shall see in His hands the print of the nails…
— JOhn 20:25
  • We’ve all walked through things that changed us.

    • Some marks made us stronger; others left scars we’d rather forget.

  • We wonder if what we’ve been through disqualifies us from being used by God.

    • But God doesn’t hide the evidence—He uses it.

The very things that once looked like weakness become proof of His strength.


2. Scars Tell Two Stories

Reach hither thy finger… and thrust it into my side.
— John 20:27
  • A scar says two things at once: “I was hurt” and “I was healed.”

  • Jesus didn’t erase His scars after the resurrection—He displayed them.

    • The cross was the wound. The resurrection is the healing.

    • The scars are the testimony that both are real.

Stop hiding what God has healed. Let your scars testify that grace works.


3. When Grace Becomes Evidence

Be not faithless, but believing.
— John 20:27
  • Every healed place in your life is a prophecy of what God can do again.

  • The world doesn’t need perfect Christians; it needs living proof that God still heals.

You are the evidence that grace still reaches people, that mercy still restores lives, and that Jesus still heals what was broken


Response

  • Don’t hide your story—show the scars that God has turned into testimonies.

  • Every healed place is God saying, “See? I’m still working.”

  • If you’ve been silent about what He’s done, God is calling you to testify.
