What does it tell us about the heart of God that he put the keys to the kingdom in the shaky hands of people who were something less than certain? That he looks the doubter in the eye and says, “Not at some future point when you get every intellectual quibble sorted and every question answered, but right in the midst of your doubt, I choose you. I trust you. I send you.” Apparently, Jesus was much more comfortable with doubt than most of our churches are.
