The Blessing of Faith

By December 7, 2013No Comments

Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.  John 20:29 KJV

On the evening of the resurrection of Christ, Jesus appeared to His disciples. After a day filled with reports of others seeing Him, the disciples as a group were very happy to see Him as well. However, Thomas was absent and he refused to believe in the resurrection unless he could actually touch the wounds of His crucifixion. It was another eight days before Jesus appeared to them again. Jesus challenged Thomas to see, touch, and believe. With such physical evidence, Thomas no longer had any doubts but fully believed. Most would never have that same privilege, so Jesus promised added blessing on those who believe without the demands of Thomas. That is the blessing of all who believe today.

Lord, though I do not see You now with physical eyes, I do see You in the eyes of faith. To believe in You and walk with You daily by faith has already filled my life with blessing I could not have experienced otherwise.
