SEEING AND BELIEVING
Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed”. John 20:29 NASB
There is an old saying: “seeing is believing”. There is much truth in those words. When our senses of seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling, and tasting detect something, we believe that thing is there. It is hard for our minds to comprehend anything that our senses cannot detect. It is at that time when our faith takes over.
I cannot see God, but I can see His creation. I cannot hear God, but I can hear His presence when the wind blows in the trees. I can feel God’s presence when I am faced with adversity and His calming nature protects and sooth’s me. I can taste and smell God’s goodness whenever I sit down with family and friends to dine together on His bounty.
I did not see God walking the dusty roads of Galilee in the form of Jesus, a man. I did not see Jesus hanging on the cross, or in the tomb, or as resurrected declaring victory over death. I did not hear Jesus when He said, “forgive them father, for they know not what they do. Even though my human senses don’t detect His existence, I know that Jesus lives and loves all of us. I feel His presence every time we break bread together and drink the cup of His new covenant.
It is by our faith that we know God and His Son Jesus.
Thank you Father for Your presence in every aspect of our lives. Amen
