20:24 Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came
20:25 The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.”
20:26 And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!”
20:27 Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and pu’t it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.”
20:28 And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”
20:29 Jesus said to him, [a]“Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
STUDY:
St Thomas, also known as Didymus, was one of the Apostles of Jesus Christ. He is also known as Doubting Thomas because he initially did not believe the resurrection of Jesus Christ when he was told. He later believed when Jesus appeared and asked him to touch His hands and sides. Because he saw and believed, Jesus Christ now said, blessed are those who do not see but believe. Waiting for proof and evidence is not a step in the direction of faith. Faith is taking God by His Word and integrity to fulfil His Word.
There is a blessing that comes from believing God for who He is and what He is able to do.
In your Christian journey, you must avoid the pitfall of waiting for evidence before you believe the word of God. Situations and circumstances might be misleading when it comes to the will and purposes of God for your life; you need to believe the word of God and trust Him to glorify His name through the fulfilment of His promises for your life.
Prayer:
Lord I believe, help my unbelief. Amen!
