Today's Scripture:
Then Jesus told him, You believe because you see me. Those who believe without seeing me will be truly happy.
John 20:29
Today as I travel to visit UNC to visit with Chris Keen I still see flowers but also the leaves on the trees have changed color.
Christians believe in the existence of something that can't be seen. You already believe in the existence of at least one thing you can't see. You believe there is air without seeing it. If you didn't believe it was available you would live in panic, wondering where your next breath was coming from.
A blind man in the Bible could not see Jesus, but he went to him to be healed. He heard that Jesus was healing people, and the blind man wanted to see. After Jesus died and came back to life, his disciples wanted to see him to confirm that he was really alive. One of his disciples, Thomas, would not believe anyone who told him Jesus was alive. Thomas did not believe Jesus had risen from the dead until he placed his hand into Jesus's side where the spear had pierced him. The blind man believed in Jesus even though he couldn't see him.
The blind man listened to the stories about Jesus. He gathered all the information he could and then went to where Jesus was. He asked Jesus to heal him. The blind man accepted that Jesus was who he said he was, the Savior and the Son of God, and that he had the power to heal.
Faith is accepting the truth found in the Bible. The Bible will provide the truth you need about Jesus and about God. If you believe it, accept it, and live your life as though you beieve it, that my friends is faith.
Selah people' and friends seeing may be believing, but are you ready to believe in something that you haven't seen? When it comes to th Christian faith, believing is seeing!
"Peace be with you as others see your faith as you share with others what you truly believe."
