Now you see me - now you don't
'Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.' JOHN 20:
We read about Jesus in the Bible but because we've never seen Him here on earth our minds can play tricks on us or our mates can make fun of us saying, 'Doh! You think Jesus is alive?!?
You think the Hoooly Spirit talks to you?!?' Well, think about this for a minute before you give in to that stuff 'how much of this life is actually made up of things you can see?' Think about it. Where are your friends right now? Can you see them? Do you start to doubt that they exist when you can't see them? When your mum shouts from the bottom of the stairs that your tea's ready do you get all spooked and start thinking that you're hearing voices in your head just because you can't see her but you can hear her voice? Don't be daft! Then there is the air you are breathing right now or what about the feelings you have, and the memories; all that's invisible but it makes up a massive chunk of your life.
Faith is when you believe in the stuff that you can't see, and the Bible says it's impossible to please God without faith. So just because you've not seen Jesus you're not at a disadvantage; Jesus said, 'Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed'. He loves it!
