Seeing Is Believing

Today, as we continue to Prepare 90 Days for Easter (P90E), we read John 20 and I Thessalonians 5.18.

Have you ever noticed it?  Read it closely.  John 20.25-29- So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe."
26 Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you."
27 Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe."
28 Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!"
29 Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

Once Thomas saw Christ, did he have to actually touch Him?  The passage says that He answered the Lord.  Jesus responded that Thomas had "seen" the Lord.

Don't put God to the test...just believe!  He will keep His Word.  He did then.  He will today.  Even so, Lord Jesus, quickly come!

Embrace Christ this Resurrection Weekend!
