BELIEVE AND SEE (01-16-13)


John 1:34
“Now I have seen and testified that he is the Son of God.”

To see is to believe.  Most of us have this principle.  Unless we see it, actually, in front of our eyes, we would always have doubt or worse, we would not believe anything.

This is the reason why some of us still cannot accept the existence of God.  We are breathing the air He provides and so we are alive today.  Our heart is beating even without batteries or electricity and so we are alive today.  We have people who love and cares for us and so we are alive today.

And still we have the guts to say that “we are doing it our way.”  That we are alive because of me and only me.

Yes, people during Jesus’ time is blessed because they were able to see and interact with Him, God who has become flesh.  But a very few has really believed He is the Lord and Savior.  Even though they see it with their very own eyes – the miracles, the parables, the humility even at death – they would not accept that in their hearts as real.

And so we are more blessed for we believe even though we did not see him in flesh.  For we believe because we feel His love all around us.  We believe because we fully understand His teachings.  We believe because our heart would beat faster and faster with the mere mention of His name.  We believe Him because we love and are being loved.

My friend, are you still denying that you have Jesus as your Savior and Lord.  Can’t you still accept the Lord in your heart?  I cannot blame you.  Once in my life, that was how I also felt.  But I felt that because I don’t want to believe, because I am afraid of the consequences.

But I am not anymore afraid.  For I know the Lord loves me and that love will help me to see life at a different light.

Almighty Father, let my heart see You.  You are my Lord and my Savior and you will be forever.  Bless our lives as we testify fully that You are the Son of God – my friend, my King and my Lord.  Amen +

Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.
