“From that city, many of the Samaritans believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, ‘He told me all the things that I have done.’” (John 4:39)

The same is true today. Many trust Jesus through the testimony of others. Some get to know Him personally and then trust Him. Either way works. Jesus was thrilled that Thomas wanted to see for himself the proof that this person before him was Jesus. After some inspection, he knew the crucified and resurrected One. Jesus also explained that many would not see Him, or His scars would joyfully find Him resident in their hearts. I am one of those who have not seen the scars and know His heart beating in mine.

Why not trust Him?

I have called on Your name, and my heart has changed. I trust Your name. The flesh is as loud as ever but has become a church mouse compared to Your whispers.
