Doubt as Evidence

Commentators highlight a powerful irony: the disciples' profound skepticism is strong evidence for the resurrection. They weren't gullible followers predisposed to believe; they were so hard to convince that Jesus rebuked them. Their eventual, unshakeable faith shows they encountered overwhelming, undeniable proof that Jesus was alive, making their testimony all the more credible.
