Jun 18, 2016 · It's purely simple. Thomas said to all that if Jesus would be killed, then they should die too. It's simple logic as it is told in the koine greek. No sarcasm, doubt or hesitation from Thomas. It's actually a show of love and dedication from Thomas to Jesus and the rest of the disciples.

The story of “doubting Thomas” is found in John 20, just after Christ has risen from the dead and has appeared to the other 10 disciples in a locked room (only Judas Iscariot, the betrayer who ultimately took his life, and Thomas were absent). The only thing we know about Thomas, other than his “twin” nickname, is that he was paired with Matthew th...
In John 20:24-29, the other disciples informed him they’d seen the Lord, but he didn’t believe them. He doubted — said he had to see before he believed. A week passed, and the disciples again gathered in the house with the doors locked, and this time Thomas was with them. Suddenly, Jesus appeared in the room with them. Thomas had doubted the others...
Jesus offered tremendous grace by showing Himself to Thomas in response to Thomas’s doubts. He knew Thomas wanted evidence, and He confronted this by providing exactly what Thomas sought. But it’s Jesus’s final words in this scene, noting the blessedness of those who believe without seeing, that is thought to be the greatest lesson of this story. I...
If you are struggling with doubt, consider lifting up this prayer to the Lord: God, I can be so weak and sinful in my separation from you. Sometimes I don’t trust others, or seeds of doubt begin to creep in because of lies planted by the enemy. I become prideful and turn away. But I know that the Holy Spirit lives in all of your children. Lord, ple...
Jan 3, 2018 · Since Thomas had been absent, he was not (yet) a witness of the resurrection of Jesus. But he was an apostle. So on the twelfth day - a significant day - Jesus appears again and Thomas, calling him 'My Lord and My God' testifies to the fact of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Aug 28, 2018 · Many of the sayings of Jesus in this Gospel will be familiar to those who have read the Synoptic Gospels: “If a blind man leads a blind man, the two of them fall into a pit” (Gosp. Thom. 34); “Blessed are the poor, for yours is the Kingdom of Heaven” (54); “The harvest is great, but the workers are few; but beseech the Lord to send workers to th...
Feb 19, 2021 · The lack of the phrase "you are" in John 20:28 compared to John 1:49, means the new faith of Thomas and consequently, of the recent Christian Church, which was of circumcision: In Jesus, there was the theophany of the Trinity, the essence, the complete substance of divinity.
