HARD TO BELIEVE IT!  
   
Do you find some things, hard to believe? Yes... of course you do!
Well, you know, you can't believe every story you are told. If somebody told you they'd seen a mermaid, you probably wouldn't believe them... and rightly so!
   
When the Lord Jesus appeared to His disciples, after He had risen from the dead, one of His followers, a man named THOMAS, was not there. When the others told THOMAS, they had seen the Lord and that He was ALIVE, THOMAS would not believe them.

He said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in His hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe it.”

There was no way THOMAS was going to believe their story, unless he saw for himself!

   
A week later, the disciples were in the house again, and THOMAS was with them. The doors were locked but suddenly JESUS appeared, again, in the room with them! JESUS said to THOMAS, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

Well, THOMAS was amazed. He could see for himself that it really was the Lord Jesus and that He was ALIVE! THOMAS cried, “My Lord and my God!"

   
Hey guys... because Thomas SAW, he BELIEVED; but God promises a special prize to YOU and ME, who BELIEVE though we have not SEEN!
