“Then Jesus told him, “You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me.”John 20:29 NLT
The above words were spoken by Jesus to Thomas who had doubted that Jesus rose from the dead. Jesus made a special appearance for Thomas to bring him doubt to belief. Jesus did not condemn him, as we might, but rather came to show Thomas He really had risen from the dead.
Thomas would have taken that encounter with him for the remainder of his life. Thomas , it appears, may have travelled to India to evangelise as he is celebrated there.
We have friends who struggle to believe God has wholeness for them in some part of their lives. Our challenge is to be faithful in prayer for them. It is God who brings divine encounters. Amen
