Spiritual Vitamin: "Now Thomas, one of the Twelve, ws not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord!"
But he said to them, "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe."
A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finer here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe." John 20:24-27
Reflection: We've all heard of the phrase "Doubting Thomas." But, what if you were in Thomas's shoes? Wouldn't you have had some doubts? We read that Thomas believed and recognized that Jesus was who He said He was.
Jesus didn't rebuke Thomas. He did't humiliate him for his doubt. Jesus wanted to show him.
What doubts do you have with your faith? Where are you skeptical? Come to God with your questions and doubts. Christ is willing to walk with you in your struggle with faith.
