Hope

Blessed Are Those

Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

John 20:29

· · ·

Jesus pronounces a special blessing on all who believe without seeing the risen Christ physically.

Thomas needed to see and touch, but Jesus commends those who believe based on testimony and faith. This blessing extends to all believers throughout history who trust in the resurrection without empirical proof. Our faith, though unseen, is blessed.

For Today

Choose to believe God's promises today even when you cannot see the evidence with your physical eyes.

Prayer

Lord Jesus, though I have not seen You, I believe. Thank You for blessing my faith. Strengthen my trust in Your unseen presence. Amen.
