(Read John 20: 19-29; 1Peter 1: 6-9)
In all the years I have walked with Christ I have never seen the Lord or had a vision of Jesus, yet I am fully convinced that He is the risen Savior. There have been times in my life--difficult times--when it would have been nice to see some sign or proof of God's existence, but it seems that God has a better blessing for me. Thomas was allowed not only to see the Lord but to touch His wounded hands and side. I find tremendous comfort in the words of Jesus when He said to Thomas, "Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed."

That's you and me, my friends. There's a blessing for those who believe, having not seen. And the best part is that in the end, we shall see Him in whom we have placed our faith. Our hope will not be disappointed!
