A FRIEND WHO LEARNED TO BELIEVE LESSON TEXT—John 11: 1. ». IS; *0: 34-29. MEMORY SELECTION Bleistd are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.—John 20:29, Doubt and faith—both *eem 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 comes in. faith loses Its grip. Thomas, and his experience fol lowing 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 ex pression of I. Fearless Loyalty (John 11:7, 8, 16). 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 taber nacles (John 8:59) 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 and Martha 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 will ing to go along and die with him. Let us recognize that here was a man of real courage, willing to show his 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 failed him. When we think we are strong, we had better watch out lest we fail. Let us be clear and triumphant in our declaration of loyalty to Christ, both by word and by life. And then let us set a double guard against the enemy of our souls. Thomas next appears In IL Faithless Failure (John 16:24, 25). He had been willing to die for his Lord, or with him, but now the Lord had been taken by wicked hands and crucified. He 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 25. He had been thinking of those awful bleeding wounds, and had for gotten about the promises of resur rection. 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 m his thinking. Let us not make the same mistake. Another reason for his failure was that he did not go to the meet ing of his brethren. Perhaps he did not feel like going, and did not think it was any use to go. Ah, but that’s just the time one 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 meet ing of his people. Having gone thus far in discour aged unbelief, it was easy for Thomas to take the next step and demand physical proof of the resur rection. 4 His despondency had now reached the place of making unrea sonable demands and of discredit ing the witness of others. We are glad that we can close our study on the note of renewed faith and of 111. FuU Confession (John 16:26- 29). Note that the Lord was ready fully to meet the demands of Thom as, even though they were on the unreasonable side. That was un doubtedly because he knew the es sential fineness and trueness of Thomas. His doubts were unfortunate and entirely unnecessary, but they were genuine. No real doubter wiU ever remain one long, for If he brings a genuine doubt to the Lord, he will find It fully met. It is the triflers, those who use their doubts to hide their sins, and those who are un wiUing to bring their dark thought* Into the light of the presence of Jesus, who go on doubting year aft er year. Notice the comment of Jesus fol lowing the glad and complete con fession of faith by Thomas. It is a good thing to believe because one has seen and been convinced. That is proper and blessed. But the real fullness of blessing comes to the one who can rise to faith in Christ because of his word, quite apart from the visible or tan gible evidence. This is real Chris tian faith which declares Christ to be our Lord and our God, the one whom having not seen, we love (I Pet, 1:8).
