The Case for Thomas -- John 20:19-29 (Second Sunday of Easter)

For centuries the disciple Thomas has been labeled "Doubting Thomas."  This sermon makes the case FOR Thomas.  Behind closed doors with Thomas and the disciples, what we see in Thomas is someone who -- like us -- is baffled by a bewildering world.  He voices his need for Jesus, and the Risen Christ responds.  In Resurrection, when we reach the limits of our understanding, Jesus takes our hand and says, “I'm still here.”
