Doubting Thomas: Bible Story Summary and Meaning

What happened in the Doubting Thomas story of the Bible and what does “doubting Thomas” mean? Doubting Thomas Story Summary (John 20:24–29) After Jesus rose from the dead, he visited his disciples, but Thomas wasn’t there. The other disciples told Thomas about Jesus’s appearance, but he did not believe them. He expressed his doubt saying: “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe.” A week later Jesus returned and told Thomas to put his finger in the wound at his side and see the holes in his hand from the nails on the cross. Thomas finally believed saying “My Lord and my God!” Finally the story gives a nod to us as the reader. None of us were there with the Apostles when the Risen Jesus appeared to them. So he says: “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.” The Meaning of the Doubting Thomas Story What lessons does this story teach to us today? 1. Believe without seeing. Christians are called to have faith without miraculously seeing Jesus. Faith is sometimes believing without seeing. 2. There is hope for the skeptics. All of us will experience doubt in God at one time or another. Whether this be doubt in his existence (atheism) or doubt in his presence at higher levels of spirituality (dark night of the soul). Find blessing in not seeing and not having proof. 3. The wounds remain in the glorified body. As a theological point, this story gives a clue about our own resurrection of the body. Jesus’s body was not replaced in the Resurrection. His body was glorified, but the wounds remained. Likewise, our bodies will remain with us throughout life and those same bodies will rise again in the Resurrection on the Last Day.
