Thomas was not with the there when Jesus came and when he was told that Jesus came; He declared that unless puts his hands of the nail prints, he would not believe.
After 8 days Jesus came and spoke peace. He told Thomas to touch Him, and believe and not be unbelieving. Thomas answered Him, my Lord, and my God. Jesus told him that it's because he saw that He believed. The more blessed are those who believe without seeing.
When you believe God's word without external evidence, you are blessed indeed.
See to live a life of faith.
Jesus performance many miracles before the disciples. He didn't go back to those who crucified them and tried to prove Himself and tried to shame them, He only revealed Himself to the disciples. In the same way, we must follow Jesus here also, we must not shame those who persecuted us or crucified us after God exalts us, we shouldn't be embittered against them, nor have grudges but forgiveness and love.
The purpose of writing this book is that we should believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God. And by believing you may have eternal life.
Have you believed. Do you have eternal life.
Jesus manifested Himself in the sea of Galilee to the disciples.
Simon Peter, Nathaniel, Thomas, the sons of Zebedee were together and Peter said that He was going back to fishing. They went and the whole night they caught nothing. Jesus came early in the morning but they didn't recognise Him. He asked them whether they had any fish and they said no. He then told them to cast into the right side and to they would cash. They did and were unable to remove the fish because of the large number of fish.
We see here that throughout, the first thing that Jesus wants to hear from us is an honest acknowledgement of our need or lack. Jesus knew they didn't have fish but He wanted them to be honest and admit it and then He perform a miracle for them.
God knows that you are struggling and everything you are facing and all your weaknesses and sins, but He waits for your honest acknowledgement. Trying to hide and assume that all is well will not bring answers until we honesty admit to God.
Have you been trying to hide something from God? Yes you have been praying, but do you beat around the bush about that particular thing? When will you finally expose yourself to God without hiding anything. This is the only time your heart will receive healing.
You are blessed to be a blessing
