When "Doubting Thomas" saw the risen Lord for himself, his skepticism changed to acknowledgement of Jesus as "My Lord and my God." Jesus responded by saying, "Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and have believed." The Holy Spirit still brings faith to those who will hear, even in our skeptical generation. Today's message invites us to come meet Jesus as we explore the story of the disciple Thomas. He was a brave believer who was willing to die for Jesus, but also one who is most well known as "Doubting Thomas." Our world is one of spiritual poverty and skepticism, but when we turn our eyes to Jesus we can hear Him saying, "Stop doubting and believe!" May our response be, "Lord and God!"
