Believing Is Seeing

'Seeing is believing,' we say. Implicit in this kind of affirmation is the presumption that if we were given enough information, enough data, enough instruction then our faith meters would be full to the brim. Except, when it comes to the disciples, they had already seen it all and it wasn’t enough. Which means that with Jesus, it’s the opposite: Believing is seeing. And, if should we worry that we don’t have enough belief to believe, Jesus says we only need faith the size of a mustard seed and, better yet, the disciples are proof positive that Jesus never stops showing the Gospel even to those who barely believe. Because faith, even faith as fractured as a glitched icon, faith as fearful as the disciples cowering on the ground, faith as fleeting as the breeze is all we need to have a whole new way of seeing...
