"So the other disciples were saying to him, We have seen the Lord! But he said to them, Unless I see in His hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe."
John 20:25 (NASB)
How many of us still do this today? How often do we "put God to the test?" When our faith hinges on the "unless" we can be assured that it is at that point we are faithless. "Blessed are those who believe and have not seen!" Do you need to ask God to forgive your unbelief and turn from a mindset like Thomas who gave God ultimatums? What if Jesus said, before He took our cross, "unless I see their faith I will not die for them." We would be eternally condemned!
In His Grip,
Ace Alexander
