remember this verse in first Peter 16 and 17 we're any greatly rejoice though for a season if need be ER in heaviness through manifold temptations that the trial of your faith being much more precious than of gold that perisheth

verse 28 but we don't get to see that and that's where faith comes in it wouldn't require faith if within a few seconds i would immediately see yes that's how it's all going to work out for good but thank god that he ordains it that way like he told thomas

before jesus they had that uttermost faith in christ as being the lord of the life they worshipped christ without an inch of doubt within them and at that point as they were after worshipping with great exceeding joy and as they were returning back to where
