John 20:29
Comments
These words of Christ mark the great transition. He will no longer be there – to do his miracles, to be present as God’s representative in the world. Now the work of God will be entirely by the Spirit. It will be by faith. We come to Christ by faith. So now, says Christ, it will all be by faith, not by sight. ‘Blessed are they, and very blessed, that have not seen and yet have believed.’
Application
Some people won’t have this. ‘Oh no, I must go to a healing meeting.’ Not that those healings are genuine. ‘I must go and I must see something. I must see incredible things. I must hear tongues which I convince myself are mysteriously and wonderfully from God. I must have physical tokens. No, says Christ, not any longer. By faith you believe the word and by that you prove the Lord. Don’t say, ‘Yes I believe that but I also must have…’ I remember many years ago somebody saying to me, ‘Yes, but if I couldn’t believe in miracles being performed before my eyes, where would I get my faith?’ That is a complete misunderstanding. Faith comes from simply believing the word of God and resting upon that.
