SUGGESTED READING: JOHN 20:24–29

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).

It is wonderful to see Jesus Christ slip His balm through tired and jangled nerves, turning out demons, altering the whole outlook, and lifting the whole life into a totally new relationship with Him. Have you ever seen Him do that?

I have seen it twice in my life, and I will never forget it. While I watched the marvelous work of God in those gloomy, tortured lives, it was as if I were bathed in the sunlight of the presence of God. It made me realize my own utter helplessness and the power of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ had to come into contact with Thomas to alter his gloom. The disciples’ testimony could not do it. They told Thomas, “We have seen the Lord!” And out of the agony of his sick soul, Thomas said, “I cannot, I dare not, believe. Except I see in His hands and feet the wound-prints, I will not believe” (John 20:25). The testimony of the disciples was not the slightest bit of use; but when Jesus Christ came into contact with him, He made the difference.

PRAYER THOUGHT: I praise Your name, Lord, for the healing balm of Your presence.
