Believe !

John 20:29" Jesus saith unto him,Thomas,because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed:blessed are they that have not seen,and yet believe".

Those who saw and did not believe,are not being blessed,those that saw him and believed, no doubt were blessed.Those who have not seen,and yet believe are emphatically blessed.This is our blessedness this is our place in the gospel history,we have not seen,and yet we have believed.What a comfort that so high a degree of blessedness is open to us,if we only believe.We are blessed in having a believing heart; blessed in the instrument of our belief,blessed in having an evidence that we are passed from death to life:"whom,having not seen,we love".It is a much better blessing to believe than to see,because it put more honor upon God's word.He that can trust an unseen Savior,may trust him in all matters: Lock him in prison,shut him in total darkness,it matters not,because he walks by faith, he has always a heart to believe,and he rest upon a rock that shall never be moved.The same faith that takes hold of an unseen, risen Savior, takes hold of every other truth in the gospel.

Faith makes invisible things visible,absent things present,things that are very far off to be very near unto the soul.The religion of unbelief is one of darkness,filled with plagues and wrath; but the religion of faith is as the floor of heaven for brightness.Christ righteousness shelters it, the grace of the spirit beautify it and the eternal smile of God comforts and glorifies it.

O think of this,Christians, again and again,by our unbelief , we bear false withness against God!When we as his children doubt him ,we in fact tell the world his world is not true and that he is a liar.If we his children can't have total faith in his word, if we don't believe that Jesus rose with all power,if we think there are some things that God can't do,that he will not prvide for his own ,and look after his own,if we don't believe,how can we convience a unbelieving world.IF you believe in your heart the Lord Jesus,then confess with your mouth that God has raised him from the dead,live your life like he rose with all power,so that those who haven't seen might believe, because they see this truth in you.
