There are plenty of people who want to beat up on poor Thomas for not believing the report of the other disciples. What should we make of Thomas? I think we often see ourselves. Doubt is not the opposite of belief. We can hold fast to our belief while still having some lingering questions. In Mark 9:24, the man states that he believes, and asks for help with his unbelief. The Christian life is one of growth. We come to understand more and our faith grows stronger as we experience the saving grace of Jesus Christ day by day.
