Last week, we looked at Jesus' appearance to ten of His disciples (Thomas was absent) in the Upper Room. For the next week, the disciples bent Thomas’ ear about Jesus being resurrected and he is NOT buying it! He emphatically states that certain criteria have to be met in order for him to believe. Thomas wanted to personally see and physically handle Jesus’ body to believe He was indeed resurrected. We do not have that opportunity today, and so we are exhorted to believe on the basis of the eyewitness testimony of those who did see Jesus.
