Germany 1 England 5
A number of years ago I went to see a game of football it was Germany V England. The score at the end of the game was 5-1 to us. it was really quite unbelievable. I remember that night I was coming home on the tube and over the loud speaker came " Just in case you don't believe it England 5 Germany 1. This episode got me thinking about today's Gospel. And ask the question. Have you ever doubted what someone has said to you? I know that I do. We can hear ourselves say things like. Really ? Never? We then go through a long rigmarole of either trying to find out the truth or taking something on face value but never really believing it. Thomas in today's gospel has to have evidence before he really believes that Jesus has risen from the dead. He has to physically touch and see. In some respects I can see where Thomas is coming from. If we look at the events of Holy Week and put ourselves in the disciples shoes Would we question it all. This is Thomas.
