The Bible acknowledges that even Jesus' disciples experienced doubt, reflecting the frailty of human faith despite witnessing miraculous events.
In Matthew 28:17, we see that when the disciples encountered the risen Christ, 'some doubted.' This admission highlights the reality of our struggle with faith, even after experiencing divine truths. It is a reminder that doubt can coexist with belief, illustrating our human frailty. The disciples had seen numerous miracles and yet, faced with the resurrection, they still grappled with uncertainty. This suggests that faith is not simply the absence of doubt but often a journey through it, trusting in Christ's promises even when we struggle to comprehend them fully.
