Do we believe like a modern day Thomas?

We are Christians because we believe in Jesus Christ, but we are called to believe in Him through our faith. The story of Thomas refusing to believe that Jesus had risen until he actually touched his wounds is the greatest example of the necessity of faith that we read in the Bible. Thomas sat at the feet of Jesus, and witnessed His life and miracles, yet when it came time to truly believe what he had heard and seen, he lacked the faith to do so. Is this our story too? Are we modern day versions of Thomas? Are we waiting on Jesus to present Himself to us before we can actually believe?

Do we think that we are spiritually wealthy? Do we think that we have succeeded in our faith to the point where we are not only righteous, but perhaps we feel that we are on the verge of becoming holy? If our chests are puffed up in our spiritual walk, and we feel that all our blessings are well deserved, then at our best, we are only on the cusp of faith, and are worshipping ourselves.
