"My Lord and my God!" Thomas exclaimed. John 20:28 NLT
Meet the original doubting Thomas. The Twin, as he was called by his friends, definitely wasn’t afraid to speak his mind. And he was no wimp either.
Just a short time after some of the Jewish leaders threatened to arrest Jesus and picked up stones to kill Him, Jesus urged His disciples to go back to Jerusalem with Him. The apostles all were shaking in their boots—except Thomas, who said to them, “Let’s go, too—and die with Jesus” (john 11:16).
A few days later, while Jesus was presenting some difficult new truths to His disciples, it was Thomas again who spoke up and said, “We have no idea where you are going, so how can we know the way?” (John 14:5).
So it doesn’t come as a complete surprise when, after Jesus’ resurrection, it’s Thomas who finds it so
