Opportunity

On June 24 I made this statement “seeing is believing.” If you Remember the two disciples ran to the tomb where Jesus had been buried. Mary had told them it was empty and they went to see for themselves. Well here’s Thomas in the same chapter and this is what he says. John 20:25 (KJV) The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he (Thomas) said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.

Well Thomas got the opportunity to see 

John 20:26 (KJV) And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the 

, and said, Peace be unto you.

John 20:27 (KJV) Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

John 20:28 (KJV)  And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

John 20:29 (KJV)   Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

So my question is, is seeing believing?
