Questions

The Good News Today Is...we are free to ask questions. Sometimes in our quest for faith there seems to be more questions than answers. Even the apostles had questions - Thomas wanted physical proof that Jesus had risen from the dead. Questions do not mean that we don't believe, it means we are seeking to increase our faith. Thomas was the one apostle that was willing to die for Jesus when Jesus went to raise Lazerus from the tomb. It was risky business for Jesus to go back to the area where he was being prosecuted, but Thomas was willing to stand by his side and take the consequences. Yet Thomas was the one that questioned the resurrection. Jesus was okay with that - he appeared to the group of apostles the second time, allowing Thomas to feel his hands and his side and Thomas believed. It's okay for us to have questions....just don't stop seeking the truthful answers...that is where our faith is built.
