SI. 94-88 MEMOHY SELECTION - Bla»»«d art they that hxv's not Men. ted »•< lava believed — John V) 2# Doubt and faith—both »e#tn to come to the hearts and minds of men. Yet they are directly contra* dictory to one another and cannot exist together. To believe is to drive out doubt, and when doubt Mmes in, faittl loses Its grip Thomas, and his experience following the resurrection of our Lord, presents a lesson on What a man can do to meet honest doubt and how such a man can come out into the sunshine of faith. We find in Thomas, first, an expression of I. Fearless Loyalty (John 11:7, 8 ill. Unafraid of the threats of men, Jesus was about to go once more Into Judea On his last two visits there, the Jews had sought to kill him, namely, at the feast of tabernacles (John B’s9> and at the feast of dedication (John 10:31) He was not one to draw back for the fear of men when the Father's will led him forward In his service to humanity. Lazarus was dead, and Mary aim Murtha needed him and he was going to them. Then came a fine expression of the loyalty of Thomas If his Lord was going to face death, he was willing to go along and die with him. Let us recognize that here was a man of real courage, willing to show bis loyalty even by giving his life. There Is something fine about that attitude, and something which Shows us that when this man later expressed doubt. It was not the silly and shallow unbelief of a trifler This man loved the Lord and served him. and yet he felled him. When wc think we are strong. «e had better watch out lest we fall Let us be clear and triumphant In otir declaration of loyalty te Christ, both by word and by life. And then let us sei a double guard against the enemy of our souls. Thomas next appears in 11. Faithless Failure (John 18:24. 25). He han been willing to die for his Lord, or with him, but now tbs Lord had been taken by wicked hands and crucified lie and the disciples were alone to face a hostile world; at least so it seemed to them. The awful day of crucifixion preyed heavily upon the mind of Thomas. That is evident from verse Zi He had been thinking of those awful bleeding wounds, and had forgotten about the promises of resurrection. Jesus died, and that is a precious truth; but one must not stop there, for a dead Saviour is no Saviour at all Thomas got sidetracked tn his thinking Let us not make the aame mistake Another reason for bis failure was that he did not go to the meeting of his brethren. Perhaps be did not fee'. like going, and did not think it wag any use to go. Ah, but that's j(i»t the time or e needs the fellowship of other believers. Go, and you will meet the Lord! The Lord was there and Thomas missed him We. too, will miss the Lord and his blessing If we stay away from his house and the meeting of his people. Having gone thus tar in discouraged unbelief, it was easy for Thomas to take the next step and demand physical proof of the resurrection. His despondency had now reached the place of making unreasonable demands and of discrediting the witness of others. We ere glad that we can close our study on the note of renewed faith and of HI. Fell Confession (John 18.282»). Hote that the Lord was ready fully to meet the demands of Thomas, even though they were on the unreasonable side. That was undoubtedly because he know the essential fineness and trtfeness of Thomas. His doubts were unfortunate and entirely unnecessary, but they were genuine. No real doubter will ever remain one long, for if he brings a genuine doubt to the Lord, he will find it fully met. It is the trlflers, those who use their doubts to hide ft«r sins, and those who are unwilling to bring their dark thoughts into the light of the presence of Jesus, who go or. doubting year after year. Notice the comment of Jesus fob bowing the glad and complete confession of faith by Thomas. It is a good thing to believe beeausd one fcas seen and been convinced. That ta proper “ nd blessed.
