There are so many people who think God is out to get them. As though God, the perfect Creator of the universe, would need to play 'gotcha' games to find a reason to smite anyone.
What Jesus is showing us here is that it is the will of God to save. Jesus wants Thomas to believe -- he goes out of his way to give Thomas the proof. Jesus doesn't tell Thomas that he needs to believe more or figure it out on his own. Jesus reaches out in grace and love to bring Thomas in and speak to his doubts.
Jesus looks at you and I the same way -- through a lens of grace and love. Jesus wants you to believe, to have faith, and sends out the Holy Spirit to speak to our doubts and questions.
