"Let us also go, that we may die with Him." John 11: 16. This was an
outburst of impetuous love from the heart of Thomas. The disciples had
been vainly endeavoring to dissuade the Master from going back to Judea,
because of the malignant hate which the resurrection of Lazarus had
awakened on the part of His enemies, and the certainty of such hate
being renewed in a dangerous form if He should return. "Master," they
said, "the Jews of late sought to stone Thee, and goest Thou thither
again?" But when Thomas saw that persuasions did not avail, and that the
Lord was certainly going back to face His enemies, he cried in an
impulse of desperation and devotion, "Let us also go, that we may die
with Him." This, does not refer to the death of Lazarus, but to the
certain death which Jesus would incur should He return to the midst of
His infuriated foes. It was the cry of a devoted soldier ready to follow
his leader in the "forlorn hope," even into the jaws of danger and of
death.

Thomas was wiser than he knew in the words he uttered. It is true he and
his fellow-disciples did not immediately share their Master\
