Testing truth
John 20.19-31The story of ‘doubting Thomas’ is often seen as a negative one – the disciple who wouldn’t believe without seeing the risen Jesus – and yet he is someone who just wanted to see the evidence for himself. It would have been easy for Thomas to go along with his friends who had already seen Jesus, but Thomas wanted to experience it for himself in order to believe. The meeting with Jesus provides him with the chance to test the truth for himself.
In the age of social media and fake news, what helps us to believe in something? Is it knowing where it comes from, personal experience, physical evidence?
This week we explore how we come to believe.
