Popular thought tells us to only believe what we can see, touch, or hear with our own senses. We are told to trust the science, even though science has proven to be wrong or misguided many times. Thomas, an observer of Jesus’ life and ministry as a disciple, fell into this trap. He said that he would not believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ until he could see and touch Jesus himself.
John 20:28-29 says, “Thomas answered him, ‘My Lord and my God!’ Jesus said to him, ‘Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”‘ We may not always see the signs that God is working for us, but faith in our loving and powerful God will bring assurance of the Lord’s goodness.
