Acorn Build Up: Believe

Believe

John 20:27
Then [Jesus] said to Thomas, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.

Thomas was a seeing-is-believing kind of guy. He wasn't going to believe Jesus had been resurrected until he had proof.

The Danish philosopher Kierkegaard once said that not making a decision is itself a decision. Not making a choice is itself a choice. (The Servant, by James Hunter)

We have to choose to believe that Jesus lives without one shred of physical evidence. I guess that's why we call it faith.

Later, Jesus said:

John 20:29b
...blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.

Choose to believe and be blessed!
