The only grounds for accepting it is to trust those who say they have seen the risen Lord. But even that wasn’t enough for Thomas. Is it enough for us? In this week’s meditation, The Most Blessed of Believers, Rev. Dr. Sheldon W. Sorge explores this question and more.
The Eastern Region of the Association of Presbyterian Church Educators Spring Event will be held online April 26-28.
