The Bible story in John 20: 24-29 of Thomas, also known as "Doubting Thomas," is a powerful testament to the reality of Jesus' resurrection and the transformative power of faith. After Jesus' first appearance to the disciples, Thomas was not present and did not believe the reports of Jesus' resurrection. He famously declared that he would not believe it unless he saw the wounds in Jesus' hands and side for himself.
A week later, Jesus appeared to the disciples again, and this time Thomas was present. Jesus invited him to touch his wounds, and Thomas fell to his knees, declaring, "My Lord and my God!" This moment transformed Thomas' doubt into unwavering faith, and he became a devoted follower of Jesus. The story of Thomas is a reminder of the power of faith and the depth of Jesus' love and mercy for all who seek him.
