John 20:19–31
The story of Thomas is one we can probably all relateto – for how often do we want proof before we believe
something? The important thing about Thomas’ story
is that he doesn’t completely disengage from his faith.
He wonders and questions, and then comes to believe
after ecountering the resurrected Christ. Jesus says to
the disciples, “Receive the Holy Spirit” (verse 22), and
as disciples today, we have the Holy Spirit with us as we
share our wonderings and welcome them from others.
This week, write down some of the wonderings or questions
you have about faith. Share these with another person
– maybe your pastor or a close friend of faith.
