John 20:19-31

When this text is usually read the focus is on Thomas, or, should we say, doubting Thomas. Thomas was not there with the other disciples when Jesus had appeared to them earlier and he is simply asking for the same evidence as the other disciples have already been given. When Thomas is confronted by Jesus, Thomas is quick to confess Jesus as both my Lord and my God. What do we do with people who have questions about God? Jesus’ response was to show Thomas what he needed to believe. Jesus’ concern was Thomas believing… not the doubts Thomas had before seeing the risen Lord. The resurrection way of seeing is to provide what the other person needs to believe. To be open to their questions and to provide enough space for their doubt to move to belief.
