<h1>Is Seeing Necessary for Faith? - John G Elliott</h1>
<p>Martha and Mary were experiencing intense grief. Their brother, Lazarus, had been dead for four days. They were deeply disappointed also because Jesus delayed in coming in time to heal him. It was in this setting that Jesus revealed the nature of true faith: <i>“Believe and you will see. . .”</i>&nbsp;</p>
<p>God places a very high value on <i>trust</i> in the heart of a disciple. Each of us will be thoroughly tested in this matter throughout our entire walk with the Lord on this earth.&nbsp;</p>
<p>If it were true that seeing brings about belief, then many more people would follow Jesus. Scores of people saw the visible and tangible miracles that Jesus did and <i>still</i> they did not believe. The rich man, who was suffering in torment begged Abraham to send someone to his brothers to warn them about the future. The response from Jesus is absolutely staggering:</p>
<p><i>“if they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead”</i>&nbsp;(Luke 16:31).&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Seeing is <i>not</i> believing!&nbsp;</strong></p>
