Why Isn’t Seeing and Touching the Proof of Our Faith?

In this sermon on Thomas and the risen Christ, we explore why seeing and touching are not the proof of faith—and why Jesus calls you blessed for believing without seeing. From the Trinity to Baptism, from the Lord’s Supper to creation itself, we confront the limits of human reasoning and the way sin twists our logic. Yet Christ meets us exactly where our reasoning collapses, just as he met Thomas, and through his written Word he creates, nourishes, and sustains faith. This message shows how faith sets reason right, how God uses his promises to anchor us in suffering, and how believing becomes a clearer sight than anything our eyes can give. “These are written that you may believe…”—and through that believing, have life in his name.
