✦ MADE SIMPLE
So the other disciples were like, 'Thomas, we saw Jesus — he's alive!' But Thomas wasn't having it. He said, 'Look, I need to see those nail marks in his hands myself. I need to actually touch them, and put my hand where the spear went into his side. Until I can do that, I'm not believing any of this.'
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Sometimes you need to see it to believe it — and that's honestly pretty human.
