CHECK IT OUT! Thomas was the only disciple whose name became a synonym for a certain group of people. You dont hear about walking-on-water Peters or beloved Johns. But everybody knows what it means to be a doubting Thomas. Thomas was the man who said show me. He needed to see for himself that the resurrected Christ was the real deal. Thomas saw Jesus die. He saw the blood and the flies. He smelled the stench of dying flesh and heard the Savior utter His last words. He was an eyewitness to it all, and then he disappeared. On that first Easter, the rest of the disciples saw Him, but Thomas did not. They told him, but the picture of the crucifixion was still too fresh and real for him to believe that his Lord was alive again. Ill have to see it myself, he said. Thats the only way Ill believe. Eight days passed before Thomas saw Jesus for himself. But he didnt have to touch His wounds. He took one look at Jesus, heard His voice, then fell at His feet saying, My Lord and my God.
