we are blessed – v2



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
