DO NOT BECOME A DOUBTING THOMAS!

” UNLESS I SEE IN HIS HANDS THE IMPRINT OF THE NAILS, AND I PUT MY FINGER INTO THE PLACE OF THE NAILS, AND PUT MY HAND INTO HIS SIDE, I WILL NOT BELIEVE.” JOHN 20:25

” JESUS SAID TO HIM, ‘ BECAUSE YOU HAVE SEEN ME, HAVE YOU BELIEVED? BLESSED ARE THEY WHO DID NOT SEE, AND YET BELIEVED. ‘ ” JOHN 20:29

It is very important in today’s world that you and I have a great faith in Jesus. We are unable, like Thomas, to put our fingers into the nail prints of Jesus’s hands or put our hands into his side. Thomas had a hard time with faith. His mind was from the school of “seeing is believing.” Jesus told Thomas, and the others, that all of those who haven’t had the opportunity to see will be blessed. That includes you and me. We live in a society of “seeing is believing.” We have to overcome that in order to believe in Jesus and all that he has done and will do for us. Without faith we cannot believe. We cannot accept Him without faith. Our faith must be strong enough to believe that our Lord is still doing miracles. We cannot receive them if we have any doubts or fears. Even through hard times we must confess our faith in Jesus. We must remind our God of his mighty promises. He has never and will never go back on any of his them. If you don’t know his promises, then look them up. They were good for thousands of years ago and they are still good today. Remember, don’t be a doubting Thomas but instead, believe you receive because God in your source! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
