Easter Sunday! This is the day we build our faith upon. The events of that first Easter changed history because Jesus defeated sin and death. This Easter Sunday, we will take a look at how one disciple responded to the news of the resurrection. Thomas, known by many as Doubting Thomas, struggled with doubt following Jesus' resurrection. Despite the testimony of his fellow disciples, Thomas remained skeptical and demanded to see and touch the wounds of Jesus before he would believe. Jesus knew Thomas' heart and came to him even in his doubt.

Jesus' response to Thomas' doubt is a powerful reminder that our doubts and questions are not something to be ashamed of, but are opportunities for renewal. We are constantly reminded to not hide our doubts but to bring them so we can encounter the living God. This Easter, let us remember that doubt and faith do not have to be mutually exclusive but rather an invitation from God for renewal.
