What Does It Take for You?

John 20:24 Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe.”

Poor "doubting" Thomas.  He has forever been labeled by this one incident in his life and walk with Jesus. But he is definitely not alone.  In the next paragraph that meeting did take place, and just one look and a word from Jesus were more than enough: no touching necessary. We must be very careful about picking on Thomas, as we often do the same thing: asking where God is, why He doesn't do anything, or even acting as if He does not exist.  Our thoughts, words, and actions betray us.  Thomas obviously learned from this lesson - enough to stake his life on it, and he lived believing and teach that the resurrection is very real and very trustworthy.  Do we live that way? Talk that way? Think that way?
