Jesus made a point that in seeing Him, Thomas had believed. There were many then, and millions to come, who would believe without seeing. They would believe not because they had seen the risen Jesus, but because they heard the account of the resurrection. This is the essence of faith; to believe in the promises of Jesus Christ even though we have not seen him or touched him. We can know as clearly as Thomas did that Jesus is risen and His truths are real. The power of the Holy Spirit at work in our lives convinces us and teaches us that the Word of God and the Gospel contained within it are true.
