Detectives build cases through cumulative details, not just eyewitnesses. Thomas’ three years with Jesus—healings, teachings, love—were circumstantial evidence for deity. Yet he fixated on needing direct proof. Faith often grows not in dramatic signs, but the quiet weight of God’s consistent character across time. What we call “circumstantial” may be God’s patient handwriting. [52:54]
Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe. (John 20:30-31, NIV)
Reflection: What “small evidence” of God’s faithfulness have you overlooked while waiting for a sign?
