Our Lord Jesus

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. We thank God for His great love for us.

“Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see Him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:” 1 Peter 1v8 (KJV)

It’s amazing that indeed, though we haven’t seen our Lord Jesus Christ, yet we love Him. Some like the disciples did see Him, and walk with Him, and talk with Him, and after He was resurrected, some people saw Him. Though we haven’t seen Him, yet we love Him. Though we haven’t seen Him, we believe in Him, and we rejoice with joy unspeakable, full of glory. We dance, we praise, we fellowship with other believers, glorying in the One who gave His life for us. Though we haven’t seen Him, the Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirits that we are the sons of God (Romans 8v16). Though we haven’t seen Him, and though we have tribulations in the world, we rejoice for we know that He has overcome the world, telling us to be of good cheer (John 16v33). For as many as receive Him, He has given the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name (John 1v12). The Lord Jesus after His resurrection appeared to His disciples, but Thomas initially wasn’t there when He came. “The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into His side, I will not believe.” (John 20v25). Jesus appeared to them again 8 days later, and part of what He told Thomas was “Thomas, because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.” (John 20v29). Blessed are we that though we have not seen, we believe. Hallelujah.
