Haunting Questions: “What should I do with my doubts?”
By: Clint McBroom
Series: Haunting Questions
John 20:1-18, Psalm 77
We are tempted to think that doubt is the enemy of faith, and we seek to eliminate doubt because that keeps us in control. But faith requires us to venture into mystery, and there is no certitude in mystery. And so doubt is not the enemy of faith. It's the ground out of which faith often emerges. In the face of our doubts, we run to Jesus and let his love for us become our reason to have hope.
