Unless I See
I had two unexpected thoughts today, once in Bible Study discussing the Passover and the other during the sermon.

(Admittedly, I’m more pro-Thomas than many.) It occurred to me that here is a profound reliance upon the Incarnation. While Thomas should have believed from Jesus’ own words, surely we can understand him doubting the manic-and-rather-paranoid disciples.
