Thomas wanted some hard proof of Jesus’ resurrection. He wanted to see and to touch the Risen Lord before he would proclaim -- I believe! He got what he wanted. Jesus came to Thomas and asked him to touch his wounds “Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe.” After that Jesus said that “Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.” And I think these words are addressed to all of those who came after Jesus, the people of newer generations, and to the people of our generation like you and me. Because we can’t see the Risen Lord, we are unable to touch His wounds, or to talk to Him. However, if we still believe that He is the Son of God and that He was raised from the dead, we are counted among those blessed who didn’t see, but yet believed.
