Is Seeing 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 

Do you see first and then believe…or believe first and then see? Seeing is sometimes with the heart, not the eyes and the mind. Peter writes about “seeing” and “believing in” Jesus. …and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory….1 Peter 1:8. Just knowing Jesus creates joy in our lives. Knowing what He gave up…and that He did it for me—for us—is humbling…and yet creates a rejoicing deep in my heart. I want to worship Him—in spirit and in truth—even though I can’t see Him right now.
O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His name together. Psalms 34:3. 

RSVP: Jesus is offering you a blessing…if you believe in Him without seeing Him. Will you see Him for who He is and exalt His name with me?  

Prayer ~ Jesus, Blessed are You. O God, You are awesome from Your sanctuary. The God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to the people. Blessed be God! Psalms 68:35. May You have mercy on Your people of Israel—keeping them safe from harm as they live with trials and tribulations of battles now in the land You have given them. May they “see” You for who You are…Messiah…and believe.
