The Twelve
Doubting Thomas, Believing Confessor
Apostles · 2 verses
Thomas, called Didymus (twin), demanded empirical proof of Christ's resurrection yet made the highest christological confession when convinced: 'My Lord and my God.' His willingness to die with Christ (John 11:16) showed devotion; his doubt demonstrated humanity.
