In the Gospel of John believing is seeing. We can speculate
as to Thomas’s whereabouts that first day of the week but his absence is for
our benefit as we who have no hope of seeing, let alone touching. nail scarred hands or spear
pierced side are blessed by believing none-the-less. I don’t know if my “not
seeing” believing is due to childhood indoctrination – my guess is I’ll be a
cradle to grave Christian – or because the story continues to capture my
imagination and stir my soul, but for whatever reason I have attached my life
to Jesus and even when I fail to live the life in his name I trust Jesus’ life
is somehow lived in mine.
