Scepticism
Matthew 28:17
And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.


I. DOUBTING IN MATTERS OF RELIGION. Doubt which arises from ignorance. Doubts which mark the course of inquiry. Doubts which indicate moral perversity. Doubts about our personal religion.

II. THE PRACTICAL INFLUENCE OF DOUBTING IN MATTERS OF RELIGION. It is no apology for indifference. It ought to stimulate inquiry. It contains an element of belief — doubt, not denial. It may be an ultimate benefit.

1. Christianity is not doubtful because it has been doubted.

2. Its truths are so great that occasional doubting is not wonderful.

3. All classes of doubters should not be treated with indiscriminate harshness.

4. There are broad marks of distinction between the doubts of the saint and of the sinner.

(D. Young, D. D.)
