Faith and Sight

I wouldn't have seen it if I hadn't believed it.

Marshall McLuhan

      There is a curious correlation between seeing and believing. There always has been.  The Bible says we are to walk by faith and not by sight. That is easier said than done. 

     I love the always provocative Marshall McLuhan's take on this theme. He says he would not have seen it if he had not believed it. This implies that faith precedes sight. 

     But to the one who must see before he believes the world is void of the glory and mystery of God. In His last days as Jesus was approaching Jerusalem to be crucified there were some who challenged Him. It says of that encounter:
       But although He had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him... John 12:37


      All things are discoverable to the one whose eyes have been opened by faith. Life becomes an ongoing adventure as more and more of God's will and wonders are revealed.
