Ep. 148: Doubting Thomas

CLICK HERE for the corresponding blog post in Yeshua Adored

JOHN 20:26-29

Thomas had been absent from the circle of disciples on that evening. Even when told of the marvellous events at that gathering. He refused to believe unless he had personal evidence of the truth of the report. It can scarcely have been that Thomas did not believe in the fact that Christ’s body had left the tomb, or that he had really appeared. But until this Apostle was also convinced of the Resurrection it was impossible to re-form the ‘Apostolic Circle’. This seems to be the reason why the Apostles still remained in Jerusalem, instead of hastening, as directed, to meet the Master in Galilee.
