When Jesus announced that Lazarus was dead and that he was going to Jerusalem, Thomas showed both his courage and pessimism. Let us go, that we may die with him. This courage, however, was not tempered with faith and hope in Gods promise to bring victory out of defeat. Even though Thomas was a witness to Lazarus resurrection, he betrayed his master when arrest and death stared him in the face. He doubted his masters resurrection until Jesus showed him the wounds of his passion. God gives us faith, courage, and the strength we need to persevere through any trial and suffering we must face in this life. If we embrace our cross with faith and trust in God, then we, too, will see victory and glory in the end.
