A Reflection for the Season of Easter (John 20: 19-31)
With the possible exception of Martha, as in “Mary has chosen the better part,” I suspect there is no scriptural character more misunderstood than the Apostle Thomas.
“Doubting Thomas” we’ve called him and all his spiritual progeny down through the ages because Thomas lived by the adage “seeing is believing” and because he looked for certain tangible signs to shore up his belief.
I’d like to challenge this characterization of Thomas!
