Blessed Belief

What makes you believe? What is the outcome of your belief?

There are so many reasons to believe and place our trust in Jesus. The early disciples walked with Jesus, talked with Jesus, heard Jesus teach, and witnessed Jesus’ miracles.

These followers were blessed in their belief. Those of us who follow Jesus now, not having these firsthand experiences, are even more blessed in our belief.

In John’s Gospel account, “Jesus said to Thomas, ‘Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.’” (John 20:29, ESV).

We are blessed in our seeing, and we are blessed when we do not see and believe.

May we experience the blessedness of God as we place our faith in Jesus and believe.

A Collect for the Saturday of Easter Week:

“Heavenly Father, you have delivered us from the dominion of sin and death, and brought us into the kingdom of your beloved Son: Grant that, as by his death he has called us to life, so by his love he may raise us to eternal joys; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
