“Then saith He to Thomas, ‘Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.’” (John 20:27)
One can only speculate what may have gone through Thomas’ mind during the week following our Savior’s first appearance to the ten and His appearance on this evening when Thomas was present. What might have been going through the minds of the ten during that time?
Thomas had insisted on solid evidence: the print of the nails and the spear print in the Savior’s side. That is what Jesus gave him. Did some of the ten others tell Jesus or did He who knows all things know that Thomas needed proof? In any case Thomas was given the evidence needed for his faith. Without faith it is impossible to please Him. (Hebrews 11:6)
He has given you and me adequate proof to believe Christ is alive and gives life to all who trust Him.
