THE FAITH OF THOMAS

What if you told your son, "I put 100 dollars in the bank for you." And he said, "Are you sure? I want to see the deposit slip."

You say, "Son, you've got to believe me!"

The boy answers, "Well, maybe I can just withdraw it look at it and put it back. Dad, can you give me some proof?"

How would you feel?

Thomas said, "I need some proof that God keeps his word." He asked to see the sign of the nail marks and wound in his side. Jesus said, "Blessed are those who have not seen and believe."

Seeking signs and wonders dishonors God and can be dangerous to man.
