Blessed are those who have not seen\n and yet have believed.'' (ESV)\n\n Last Sunday the Church prayed:\n Almighty God, grant that we who have celebrated the\n Lord's resurrection may by Your grace confess in our\n life and conversation that Jesus is Lord and God.\n\n\n Yesterday we asked the question, ``How does this prayer\n relate to Thomas?'' Because Thomas saw and touched Jesus, he\n confessed Jesus as Lord and God. According to tradition, Thomas\n traveled to India and, possibly, China to proclaim the good news\n of Jesus Christ. He made this good confession, both in word and\n deed, as he brought the peace of God to those in the Asian\n subcontinent.\n\n You and I, however, do not have the luxury of touching\n Jesus' wounds or hearing His voice. Yet, all who believe in Him\n came to faith because God revealed Himself to them. We believe,\n teach, and confess that faith comes from hearing the Word of God\n in its truth and purity.\n\n ``Jesus said to [Thomas], ``Have you believed because you\n have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have\n believed.' '' You and I are counted among the blessed, for the\n truth of salvation by God's rich grace alone has been given to\n us.\n\n May our Lord grant that we hear His Word and believe that\n Jesus Christ is our Lord and God as confessed by Thomas. Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"April 16, 2026 Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4752","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2026"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4752","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4752"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4752\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4753,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4752\/revisions\/4753"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4752"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4752"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
