"_____________ Thomas"

I've often thought that the disciple, Thomas, got a bad rap. When we refer to Thomas we typically attach the term "doubting" before his name. It is interesting that you can find the term "doubting Thomas" in the dictionary. Here is what the dictionary says - "a person who refuses to believe without proof; skeptic. John 20:24-29 or a person who insists on proof before he will believe anything; skeptic." But Thomas was so much more than a doubter - Thomas was also very loyal and honest. And I believe we can learn much from his life - his doubting, his loyalty, and his honesty. Check out my sermon entitles "_______ Thomas."
