“Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe."

- Gospel of John 20:19-31 

Reflection: 

Christ proclaims a special blessedness for those who believe and have that relationship of Faith and trust in God without having physically seen Him.(1) 

When we have a question or even doubt about our Faith, do we stay stuck with the question or take action to pursue the answer?

Thomas was not in disbelief, but rather, in a protective sense, he was seeking out the answer.  Christ does not wait for Thomas to ask, but tells him to see and touch the print of the nails etc and believe.  Christ is focused on healing his stress and worry. 

Showing us if we seek out answers to our questions, the Lord will provide them.  Let us look to the example of Thomas and always pursue any questions or even doubts we may have.
