Doubting Thomas

Jesus did everything with intention

So let’s pay attention as doubt works to redemption

You see Jesus had the schedule

His planner was up to date

So no it wasn’t just fate

That Jesus revealed His Resurrection

When all were there but one person.

He knew Thomas wouldn’t be in the room.

So why did Jesus leave Thomas out?

It wasn’t to mark him as the one who had doubt

No He let Thomas sit in his grief

And wrestle with his unbelief

So he could then experience what it is to be whole

Healing, was always Jesus’ goal

He knew Thomas’ heart had a part

That needed a rebuild

That needed to be washed clean and refilled

So He let Thomas come face to face with that pain

For the sake of all that Thomas could gain

He gave Thomas the space first to question

So he could fully receive then the gift of the Resurrection

We see in this story not a Savior who leaves out

Or reprimands someone for their doubt

But a shepherd who goes back for the one

Who races to embrace the prodigal son

Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd, I go back for my sheep”

So He didn’t leave Thomas in his disbelief

Doubting Thomas isn’t a story of one man’s mistakes

But one of Jesus doing whatever it takes

Whatever it takes to mend our hearts and repair

Even if i’ts bringing our weakness to air

So we see that Jesus shows up true to His word

And that is the message that needs to be heard.
