History has (understandably) given the apostle Thomas a bad rap. You know the story: After Jesus was raised from the dead, he miraculously appeared to his disciples and showed them His scars, proving He really did pull off the greatest miracle of all time. He is indeed the Son of God, and He defeated the power of death, just as He predicted all along.
It would have been an incredible sight, for sure. But for some reason our friend Thomas didn’t read the disciple newsletter that week, and he missed the meeting. His group of closest friends told him all about the miraculous visit, but it was just too outlandish for him to believe. His actions over those days forever gave him his new title: Doubting Thomas.
If you grew up going to church, you’re likely familiar with this story. As I read through it this week, though, something new popped out to me.
