29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
It always strikes me how hard it was for even the disciples to believe. How could this be after all they saw firsthand? For Thomas it still came right down to seeing Jesus' wounds in person. This is why we need to be so into the Word, so we can grow closer to Jesus and deepen our conviction and belief in Him. He Has Risen!

ReplyDeleteIMO - this is referring to us. Jesus always spoke without a specificity of time. I think he was talking about all the people that would come after he was gone, that would not have the priviledge of seeing but still believe in him.
I agree with you, I sometimes look down on the disciples for being so hard headed....but really, I'm the same way.
I choose my own path in most cases. My issue isn't as much belief as it is application.
