REFLECTION

Thomas meets Jesus after the resurrection

SANDY TALES – (4:04) – The apostle Thomas is often seen as a doubter. He was not there when his friends, the other disciples, told him that they had seen Jesus, while Jesus died and buried a few days earlier. It is understandable that Thomas does not simply believe the first story. He wants to see it for himself and feel it. The risen Lord meets Thomas in this, and He comes again. And no one came closer to the risen Lord than Thomas, who was invited by Jesus to even put his fingers in the wounds.

Oh Tom

Written from Thomas’s perspective, it takes us for a ride on his roller coaster of emotions following the death of Jesus—insecurity, hurt, fear—before pulling at last into the station of confident faith. Read more, including lyrics, at Art & Theology blog.
