THE TRANSFIGURATION – 11
Imagine the material Thomas to have been with them, he who so soon after that event was utterly skeptical about his Master having risen from the dead — so much so, that unless he could put his finger into the print of the nails and thrust his hand into his side, he would not believe — does it look as though this well-meaning, but doubting, disciple was quite ready for the uplifting and revelation which took place on that mount of exaltation ? Peter, James and John he had often taken on previous occasions when something demanded the presence of those who could be of real use as witnesses ; as, for instance, at the raising of Jairus’ daughter.
