Put
Your Finger Here, And Look At My Hands.
Put
Your Hand Into The Wound In My Side.
Don't
Be Faithless Any Longer. Believe!
Scripture
John
20
24 One
of the twelve disciples, Thomas (nicknamed the Twin), was
not with the others when Jesus came.
But he replied, “I
won’t believe it unless I see the nail wounds in his hands, put my
fingers into them, and place my hand into the wound in his side.”
26 Eight
days later the disciples were together again, and this time Thomas
was with them. The doors were locked; but suddenly, as before, Jesus
was standing among them. “Peace be with you,” he said.
27 Then he
said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and look at my hands.
Put your hand into the wound in my side. Don’t be faithless any
longer. Believe!”
29 Then
Jesus told him, “You believe because you have seen me. Blessed
are those who believe without seeing me.”
Observation
What
is it going to take for you to believe? Early this morning around 4
am I was praying for some people close to me. I was asking God to
help them to believe! Doubting Thomas, after seeing Jesus'
resurrected body, after seeing Jesus' hands where the soldiers had
nailed Him to the cross, and after seeing the spear wound in Jesus'
side, Thomas believed!
What
will it take for you to exclaim as Thomas did, “My Lord and My God!
What will it take? What will it take for you to believe?
Application
I
will keep praying for those who God puts on my heart. I will continue
to pray for their salvation.
How
about you? Do you believe?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, help me not to ever stop praying for those who are lost. I
know that You put them on my heart during the night for a reason. I
know that You want them to be saved. Move in their hearts. Help them
to turn from sin and self and help them to turn to You. Save them,
Lord! Help them to see that they are lost and in need of a Savior.
