Matthew 28: Fear & Doubt

In the resurrection account, there are reports of people reacting with both fear and with doubt. The two are somehow related, I think. They are both the opposite of faith/trust.

I've never doubted the existence of God much, though I know many great people who do. I found myself, though, as I read the resurrection account this time, experiencing some flashes of doubt. The doubt did not take me over, but I could feel it. I think it is part of the fear reaction we sometimes have when encountering something great. I find it easier to flirt with doubt over miracle stories more so than over the existence of God. That is probably because I've found a way, even in my rationale self, to become convinced that there must be a God. Miracles continue to remain outside my rationale self, however. They require faith/trust.
