“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)
There are those today who insist on some sign, some miracle, or phenomenon to help them believe. But the age of apostolic sign miracles is over. The proof we need is in the pages of God’s Word.
You and I have not seen the Lord with our physical eyes. We have not seen the nail prints, nor where the thorns pierced His brow. We have not heard His precious voice. But we believe, nevertheless.
Peter knew when The Holy Spirit inspired him to write his first epistle that there were many who had not physically seen Jesus. He knew there would be others after them, folks like you and me, who concerning, “Jesus Christ, whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see Him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory…” (I Peter 1:8) The Bible tells us that we will see Him after this life, with all its strife.
