Christ is risen! The resurrection is an event that alters the world as we know it. And yet, in those early hours, doubt is present…and not just from crowds…from within Jesus’ close-knit group of friends — his own disciples. Like lots of people, Thomas needs assurances. He needs proof. His doubt is written into history but not for the reason most assume. His doubt is not shunned by Jesus, but embraced. Doubt and faith live very closer together.
