STANDOFF – JESUS vs. THOMAS
Now in my head I imagine Jesus on one side of the room and Thomas on the other. The other disciples go diving for cover thinking, “Oh man, Thomas is going to get it!” as a tumbleweed rolls across the floor like an old western. So, what did Jesus do? He met Thomas where he was. Jesus could have rebuked him, but He didn’t. He showed him the evidence that he needed. Thomas, a God-fearing Jew, did something that he would have considered blasphemy if he didn’t believe it to be 100% true. He acknowledged Jesus to be Yahweh God.
