Doubting Thomas as a role-model, something you’ve never probably heard said before, but I think it can be true. Many of us like Thomas want assurances, and indeed doubt before we truly believe. Thomas raised his doubts, didn’t ignore them, and found his doubts answered in Jesus, and as a result was strengthened in his faith, and was assured in his beliefs. Sometimes we don’t simply take God at his word, and doubts creep into our minds. But instead of ignoring these doubts, we should rather address them, and seek to find the answers in and through Christ, thus strengthening and re-enforcing our belief in a risen Saviour
