In looking at the world, I cannot offer you empirical proof that good overcomes evil and that love overcomes hate. Nor can we be certain that the moral arc of the universe bends towards justice as MLK declared.
Most of us are like Thomas. He wasn’t with the other disciples when the resurrected Jesus appeared. He was told. He wanted to believe. Nothing would have made him happier. But Thomas wanted certainty. We want certainty.
Eventually, Thomas had his own experience that made him sure. Most of us will never have that. The Gospel writer of John has the risen Jesus, speaking to Thomas, make this declaration:
Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe." (John 20:29)
Believe in the power of love and place out hope in that alone. We can’t be certain, but it is so good to believe.
I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.
