The Doubt of Faith
I am considering preaching this Sunday after Easter about doubt. Years ago I remember preaching about the place of doubt in our faith and my mind keeps being drawn back to that sermon. I am trying to take on this sermon as a wholly new set of thoughts but it is easy to fall back to known places, to things said before that had profound meaning (at least in our own minds).
Where does doubt find a place in our faith? Does it have a place? Are we wrong to sometimes, or even more often than that, doubt? Thomas doubted the resurrection and Jesus appeared to him and then offered a warning:
Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.”
I wonder what I might say about my own struggles with doubt and what might be helpful for us all in this consideration…
