I was there: the Doubter by ric gustafson
Thomas was a faithful follower of Jesus. He was not the only disciple to question the resurrection. Doubt is a real thing. There is a difference between doubt and unbelief. Doubt is an involuntary emotion. Unbelief is an act of the will. Upon seeing the resurrected Jesus, Thomas cried out ' my Lord and my God". The unbeliever chooses not to believe. It is said that Thomas became a missionary in Parthia and Persia. Tradition also places Thomas in India where he was martyred. Wherever he was, he was not the doubting disciple any longer. Praise God's name.
