Jesus said to him “Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.
When I read this scripture, I was reminded of a nephew who made the comment: “Unless I can see this Jesus, can touch Him, and speak to Him, I will not believe.
Yet these are the same people that seem to brag about a relative in their past, who they have never seen, touched, or spoke to, and believe the history of the story told, by an author they did not know. Or maybe they were hero’s in the great civil war, and were killed in combat. Is it because they are proud of their heritage, and it is easier to believe.
Jesus said: “blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.” The disciples who were with him did not believe at first, but as they walked with Jesus they began to believe.
The authors of the stories that are written in the Holy Bible were the disciples that wrote the true history of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. They were the ones that touched, saw, and spoke to Him while He was here on earth.
Hebrews 12:2
Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
