Did you realize that YOU are in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan for today? Look at John 20:29:
29 Jesus said to him, Because you have seen Me, Thomas, do you now believe (trust, have faith)? Blessed and happy and to be envied are those who have never seen Me and yet have believed and adhered to and trusted and relied on Me.
Jesus said that those of us who believe on Him because of what the Word said, rather than actually seeing Him personally, are BLESSED! In fact, as you can see above, we are not only blessed, but "happy and to be envied"! If you have never before been made aware of how very much you are blessed IN HIM, then I encourage you to take the time today to meditate on this wonderful TRUTH! AMEN! I also want to remind you NOT to get to critical of Thomas here. A few verses up we see that none of the others believed UNTIL they SAW Jesus either! So keep believing what the Word of God says because it IS the Word of God! Verses 30-31 remind us of just how important that is!
30 There are also many other signs and miracles which Jesus performed in the presence of the disciples which are not written in this book. 31 But these are written (recorded) in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ (the Anointed One), the Son of God, and that through believing and cleaving to and trusting and relying upon Him you may have life through (in) His name [through Who He is].
THESE accounts that we have in the written Word of God are more than enough to bring, and build, FAITH into us! AMEN! Here is Hillsong United with "Say The Word":
Shalom in Him!
