The phrase 'Believing is seeing' presents a counterpoint to the famous adage 'Seeing is believing,' highlighting that belief can foster a profound comprehension or revelation that surpasses the confines of physical evidence or empirical proof.
Some individuals think they would believe in Jesus if they could see a definitive sign or miracle. But Jesus, in John 20:18-29, emphasizes the belief that we are blessed if we can believe without seeing. We have all the proof we need in the Bible's words and believers' testimony. A physical appearance would not make Jesus more real to us than he is now.
The message of Believing and seeing emphasizes the importance of faith and belief in the context of religious conviction. It posits that belief should not be hinged on tangible proof or signs but rather on an innate reliance on the promises of God. This principle resonates across various religious teachings, which consistently extol the virtue of faith.
The message also highlights the belief in Jesus as God's son, a central Christian tenet. Hopefully, this message will encourage more people to embrace this belief, suggesting faith is more important than seeking empirical proof of Jesus's divinity.
Finally, my reference to "Faith Friday" suggests a specific day dedicated to celebrating or contemplating faith, which is a beautiful practice.
Faith Friday!
Minister Sylvia Joyner
