Sight-less Belief..!

Let’s read John 20:29

“Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

How do we believe that Sachin is a master batsman? Because we have seen his picture-perfect stroke play. How do we believe that Amitabh is a splendid actor? Because we have seen his skillful performances. The world’s belief system is based on the sensory feedback of the 5 senses (individual or combined). However, Spiritual belief system (Faith) is not based on the sensory feedback of the senses.

The WORLD says “See it to believe it”. The WORD says “Believe it before you see it”. What a contrast..! We are to taste and see that the Lord is good (Psalm 34:8). But this taste is not dependent on any of the 5 senses. This taste is experienced through the Spiritual palate called FAITH.

It is one thing to “know about” a taste and another to “actually know” the taste. None of us have seen God, but we have a promise from Him through His Son Jesus Christ – “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God” (Matthew 5:8). This is not a “maybe-statement”, this is a promise. If your heart is pure, you “WILL” see God.

If you fill your heart with the filth of the world through your senses, then there will be no place for purity. Be careful of what you eat, listen to, touch, smell and see. Did you know that through your senses you can either displease God or Glorify Him?? “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, DO IT ALL FOR THE GLORY OF GOD” (1 Corinthians 10:31).

May you be the one who spreads the AROMA of God (2 Corinthians 2:14) and not emit filthy stink. Silly and meaningless movies/songs etc do not emit AROMA, they emit foul odour.  Rid yourself off the filth of the world and fill yourself with the purity of God’s Word..!! (Proverbs 30:5).

Those who SEEK Him now blind-folded, “WILL” surely SEE Him as promised..!!!
