In a world that convinces us that we must make the most of our own stories, what do we do when our own failure rips away the ending we always wanted? Our world doesn’t have an answer for guilt or personal moral failures. There is no path to redemption. We live in a world of ruthlessly canceling others for their sins and failures, which also means we live with a lot of self-condemnation for our own failures. It’s an endless cycle of sin, guilt, shame, and ostracization. What can save us from this? Interactive life with Jesus. Peter’s greatest moral failure came in the time of Jesus’ greatest need, and Peter was convinced that life with God was over. Not only because of Jesus’ death, but because of his failure to be faithful to Jesus. Even after seeing Jesus’ resurrected, Peter returns to his old life of fishing. It’s not until an interaction with Jesus on a beach did Peter understands that there is no failure or sin too great that can kick you out of interactive life with God. There is always a road back.

What do we do when the story we scripted for our lives falls apart? What do we do when it becomes clear things won’t work out the way we dreamed them up? The common refrain in our world is to “have faith”. But the question is: in what? For Christians, the answer seems obvious - have faith in God. But what do you do when your life situation is so difficult or the event you went through was so catastrophic that it’s caused you to doubt God. This is where Thomas, the disciple of Jesus, was after Jesus’ death. The death of Jesus was the most heartbreaking, disastrous ending to the story of the last three years for Thomas. He no longer could have faith in Jesus if Jesus was dead. But soon afterwards, Thomas’ friends begin telling him that Jesus had risen from the dead, and that life with God was possible again. But Thomas couldn’t believe. He doubted. It took a personal encounter with Jesus to convince Him. What we can learn from this is that our doubts are not a barrier for our relationship with God. In fact, they can become the place where Jesus will show up in our lives. If we choose to interact with Him in the midst of our pain, our doubts, and our questions.
