Read John 20:24-29
I love how eight days later when Jesus appears to the disciples and greets them the same way “peace be with you” and draws his attention immediately to Thomas with a very gentle approach to his unbelief. Jesus offers Thomas the reassurance he wanted.
Charles Swindoll observes that Jesus’s light rebuke of Thomas is essentially saying “its ok to place complete faith in me, I won’t let you down, I am here I am real, and I won’t abandon you".
Jesus knows where we are all at regarding our faith in Him and is always gentle in reminding us. We all have doubts about things in life such as financial stability, provision of work, health and well-being Jesus will continually remind us that we don’t need to doubt but trust in Him.
What are your areas of doubt and how can you turn that into trust in Jesus?
