Doubting Thomas
 
 
 
Blessed are those who have not seen me and yet have become believers.
 

JOHN 20:29

One time all the disciples except Thomas were together and Jesus came to see them. Since he did not see Jesus himself, Thomas would not believe Jesus was alive. He wanted to see Jesus. He wanted to touch Jesus' wounds.

A week later the disciples were all together again and this time Thomas was with them. Jesus came to them. He let Thomas touch his hands and side where the wounds were. Then Thomas believed Jesus was alive again.
Jesus was glad Thomas believed. He was even happier because of the people who have not seen him and still believe.

Why wouldn't Thomas believe Jesus was alive?
Who was Jesus talking about who believed without seeing?
How would you react if you were Thomas?

Dear God,
Thank you that I believe even though I haven't actually seen you. Thank you for your patience with Thomas and with me when I make mistakes. Help me to follow you and love You. In Jesus´s Name. Amen.
Love, Tia Célia
