Thomas the Twin

• John 11:16 (ESV)

---

This passage struck me. I wondered why Thomas would say "Let us also go, that we may die with Him." The obvious is that Jesus was going back to Judea were the Jews just tried to kill Him. So why would Thomas want to go die with Him. I find it interesting that He thinks they will die obviously there is some fear issues, but He jumps right in to it, and suggests they all go. Pretty cool of a friend to be willing to go with you even though he thinks your all going to die. It is interesting that this is coming from Thomas who later doubts Christs resurrection. He is obviously at this point fully believing in Jesus as Lord, considering He will die for Him.
