Skepticism is a feature of every person, to some extent. And some people, by reason of their personality and temperament, struggle greatly with it. But God Himself, in the person of Jesus Christ, is able to master a lack of faith and to transform the skeptical person into a spiritual person. The life of Thomas is a fascinating study. In it, we learn how our Lord dealt with skepticism. When we use the adjective “skeptical,” we do not use it with any sense of flippancy. A flippant man is never truly a skeptic; in fact, he lacks skeptical ability. The skeptic is one who looks carefully into things in order to determine their deepest meaning. This is what Thomas was like.
