Bible Verse:
"Jesus said to him, ‘Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.’" – John 20:29 (ESV)
This verse is a reminder of the importance of faith and belief in Jesus, even if we don’t physically see him. Thomas doubted the resurrection of Jesus until he saw him with his own eyes. However, Jesus blessed those who believe without physically seeing. Let us trust in our faith and not doubt like Thomas.
