john 20:28

John 20:28
I think that the reason why John 20:28 is important, is because it shows us that there are people who don't have very much faith. They won't believe something unless they can not just see the proof, but touch it as well. I think the reason for Jesus saying "blessed are those who haven't seen me but will believe anyway" is that he is going back to heaven and no one will see him again for a long time. If no one believed in him because they couldn't see him, that would be bad. It means that they couldn't be saved.  So he had to say that for the people like Thomas that won't believe that he is alive again until they have touched him. It gives us an example of how we should be as well as an example of how we shouldn't be.
