The Thomas Touch

Monday, April 15, 2024

Upon hearing the reports of the Resurrection, Thomas said, "Unless I see the nail prints in His hands, put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand in His side, I will not believe." Eight days later Messiah appeared and said to him, "Put your finger here, see My hands, reach out your hand and put it into My side. Stop doubting and believe." Thomas responded, "My Lord and my God." It's literally a touching scene, and touching is the key. When Thomas touched the Lord, he stopped doubting. We need to do the same. Messiah doesn't say, "hide or repress your doubts," or "shame on you for having them." He says, "Bring your doubts to me. Don't let them separate you from Me. Touch Me and let Me touch your doubts and make them disappear." Do you have doubts? Learn from doubting Thomas. Really, it's unfair to call him doubting because he ended up very much believing. He approached the Lord with his doubts and touched Him. You do the same. Touch the Lord with your doubt and He'll touch you with faith.
