The Twelve, pt. 6 - Show-me Faith

You’d think that after 3 years of following Jesus, seeing the things He did, hearing the message and prophecies He spoke, the Apostles would be without doubt. Yet, there was still doubt among them. Thomas, like so many of us, asks for proof before he will believe, his skepticism (potentially pessimism) doesn’t let his faith thrive. Our faith must thrive without seeing and hearing Jesus “physically.” As Jesus says, “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”No matter what barriers or obstacles we place in Jesus’ way, he can still find his way into the center of our lives.In the midst of chaos, he is here to bring peace.It's easy to believe when the results are tangible.But real faith expresses belief in that which the Spirit leads us to know is true.
