With the resurrection of Jesus, none of the disciples were willing to believe. For all of them, faith came only when they encountered Jesus in the flesh. But with all of them, faith came. The failure to initially believe did not derail the reality before them or keep them from embracing the truth when he came to them. Likewise for us, we must realize that we can’t let our failures derail our faith because it is Jesus, who has died and been raised again, that our faith focuses upon, not our failures.
