The doubts that Thomas has about Jesus risen are representative of our human misgivings and to be expected of us all -  anyone in the first century of the Christian Era or in the first century of the third Christian Millennium can be expected to be skeptical about belief in something happening when we die and are taken into a life that none of us has any experience of. But that is the lynchpin of our faith: being raised to a life with God that happens completely at God’s initiative and owing nothing to our capacity or achievement. To come to that belief we must put ourselves in God’s hands and be led to that depth of faith.
