Biblical
scholar Frederick Dale Bruner says, "The Christian faith is bi-polar.
Disciples live their life between worship and doubt, trusting and questioning,
hoping and worrying."
Then Jesus
gives the disciples what is called the Great Commission, sends them out to be
His agents in the world. Jesus looks at these worshiping doubters and says:
"You go! You doubters, go. You risk your lives for Me. You change your
world for Me. And you will find as you go that it is your own doubts that are
healed. You doubters are included, too."
Disciples are
not people who never doubt. They doubt and worship. They doubt and serve. They
doubt and help each other with their doubts. They doubt and practice
faithfulness. They doubt and wait for their doubt one day to be turned to
knowing.
