thinking of Thomas
failing to believe Christ
was risen
needing proof, to touch
him
before he would believer
we cannot touch him
as Thomas did a week
later
the fulfillment of God’s
promise
to return from the dead
our situation so
different
two thousand years later
to believe is by faith
not by human proofs
we are blessed
so says the scripture
Christ’s words to Thomas
to the other disciples
we are blessed
not alive in that moment
we are truly blessed
because we believe by
faith
