An Honest Longing for the Truth

Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!

The risen Christ didn’t rebuke Thomas for his doubt but rather offered Thomas his wounds as the ultimate response. As the Orthodox Study Bible notes: “Thomas’ doubt did not come from a lack of faith, but from a desire for the same experience of the risen Lord that the other disciples had already received.” This is the “good doubt” of a seeker—an honest longing for the Truth that refuses to settle for a secondhand report.

There’s a big difference between the doubt of a cynic and the doubt of a disciple. The first is a closed door, rooted in the conviction that nothing is there and that the miraculous is impossible. The second is an open window, rooted in the agonizing knowledge that there is something—or Someone—greater than ourselves, yet we struggle to grasp Him. Thomas did not doubt that Jesus could rise; he was wrestling with the overwhelming reality that He had.

When we find ourselves in the shadows of uncertainty, we’re invited to bring our hesitations directly to the One who stands in our midst. In those moments, our most honest prayer is that of the father in the Gospel of Mark who cried out in tears: “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24).

With love in Christ,
~Fr. Andrew Jarmus, Dean, St. Mary's Orthodox Cathedral, Minneapolis, MN
