NEVER A DOUBT=The STORY of SAINT THOMAS

NEVER IN DOUBT
( the story of SAINT THOMAS )




How many of us
Have seen a sporting event
A particular nitty-gritty contest
Where you had no idea
Who was going to win


Then after the outcome
And your team won
Thought or said,


“The outcome
Was never in doubt”


Well I am here to tell you
The story of Saint Thomas
The story of “Doubting Thomas”


Well I am here to tell you
That the outcome was
“NEVER IN DOUBT”


We forget
That when Martha and Mary
Summoned Jesus to come back
And help Lazarus
Many of the other Apostles
Didn’t want to go


Because they had
To go through Judea
An area
Where Jesus had just almost been stoned


They were afraid


Then Thomas spoke up and said,
“LET us also go
That we may die with him” John 14:16


Then we flash forward
To after Jesus’ death
To where we find Thomas saying;


“Unless I see
The nail marks in his hands
And put my finger
Where the nails were
And put my hands into his side
I will NOT believe it” John 20:25


Do you ever feel that way
I know that I do


Thomas is our inspiration
For those of us
Still struggling with our faith
For whatever reason


For we know
That Thomas
Went on to preach about Jesus
After the Resurrection
And was martyred for it


Saint Thomas
Is the Saint of architects
And the spiritually blind


For those of us like Saint Thomas
Struggling with our faith
Like our favorites sports team
Striving for victory
WE WILL TRIUMPH


For we know that the outcome is


NEVER IN DOUBT
