Matthew 12:39 But he (Jesus) answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

     How often has someone said to you “seeing is believing”? Because our souls are temporarily placed in a body that lives in a four dimensional universe we assume that we need to use our five senses, see, hear, touch, smell and taste, to validate the existence of whatever. Believing in something without having to use your five senses comes from the spirit of your soul.

     After Jesus' crucifixion, the eleven apostles were gathered together in a room with the doors and windows  completely shut and Thomas said the following: John 20:24-25;
But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus 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

     You see Thomas was not about to believe until he had physical proof. Listen to what happens next in John 20:26-29;
 
And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

     Jesus tells us what we need to do for his blessing. Blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed. That is what true love is all about. You feel it in your heart without the requirement of a test of the five senses. Get your Bible and read the entire chapter of  John 20.

     This is the story of what happened after Jesus rose from being dead on the third day. 

     Jesus did not want to be known for doing miracles. He performed them but that is not what he wants his legacy to be known for. He did not want to be known as a sorcerer or magician. He wants you to see from your heart how much he loves you.

     Read the following from the gospel of Matthew 8:1-4;
When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.   

Matthew 9:27-31;

And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us.
And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.
But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country

     Jesus says “see thou tell no man”, “See that no man know it”. Jesus didn’t want to be known for his miracles, but they didn’t heed his words. Those that seek external justification through signs, wonders and miracles, that Jesus is our Lord and Savior, know not Him from the heart but need signs, wonders and miracles to justify to themselves that it is indeed him. 

     You cannot believe without seeing until you open your heart. Open your heart and listen to the love that is abounds in these verses.

Believing is seeing! This is the true faith in Jesus.
