22 July 2007 – Faith without Sight
1 Peter 8
You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy.
Faith, once revisited, has a great impact in our lives. Everyone here includes you and I have faith everyday we live. The wonderful thing about faith is that faith trusts something without seeing it. We often heard that the phrase ‘Seeing is believing’, which isn’t true for all cases, think about it. If you believe after you see it, can it be said as believing? Instead, it is knowing, not believing.
Faith is something that you believe its outcome will be before it is happening, and then you wait for its outcome. Faith is the faith without sight, it does not involve seeing. It is the same when applying to our faith in Christ, have you seen Christ being crucified on the spot? I bet no one of you have seen it. But why do you believe it? It is your faith!
Hebrew 11:1
Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.
All of us living with this kind of faith, no matter you agree the statement ‘seeing is believing’ or not. From young to old, boy and girls, all of us, who are living now, has faith in things they use, the person they trust, etc.
In Christ, we trust him, even though we never seen him, and yet we can have rejoice in glorious and inexpressible joy! This is the point, once we catch this, we can continue our journey of faith with great endurance and great power, great experiences!
Fasten your seat belt! The journey of faith will be commencing in… 10..9..8…..3..2..1… GO!!!
