John 20

John 20 - I'll be honest, with what took place during this time, I probably would have been a bit  like Thomas. Was he really raised from the dead? What would I do if I was told I may be killed for following Jesus? How do we believe Him without seeing Him? This part might be the most challenging to accept, and yet in verse 29 Jesus says, “Blessed are those who believe without seeing me.”

Earlier, He said peace be with you and RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT (see verse 21 and.
22.) Three times before His death and immediately following His resurrection He speaks of receiving the Holy Spirit.

I believe without having to physically see Him because I know in so many ways the Spirit of God lives within me. There were grand moments of what some may call, “Holy Spirit baptism,” to smaller moments where I received a nudge. When I follow through with His prompting, I trust and know God needed me to do a certain thing in that particular moment. Neither is more significant than the other, but both cast out all doubt and confirm Christ's existence and bless my life.

My prayer is that He is ever more prominent in my life and is received in the lives of others. I pray, also, that He is ever more prominent in the lives of my sisters and brothers, allowing others to see the body of Christ on the earth today
