St Matthew's three little words of doubt 1 |
| |
The Gospel of Matt 28:16-20 puts me in mind of a tongue-in-cheek Irish invention: an inflatable dartboard! You'd think that Matthew would help us to believe in Jesus' resurrection. But no! Au contraire! He sneaks in three little words: 'but some doubted'.
For if ever an author seems to score an own goal it is Matthew today. To believe in life after death is difficult enough. To believe that a specific man rose from the dead, lived among us afterwards, then ascended into heaven is gob smacking. At least, it should be. ....more tomorrow
