How Spiritual Sight Works….

For most of the people who witnessed Jesus’ miraculous healings of infirmities, it wasn’t until they saw with their eyes that they believed. What is it about actually seeing something right before our eyes that makes us believe? God works in a way that’s contrary to this type of believing. God wants us to believe in Him without having to physically witness a miraculous event. Didn’t Jesus tell Thomas that in John 20:29? God wants us to believe in Him simply because He is God. We don’t need miracles to believe. Understand this: to people, seeing is believing; to God, believing is seeing. It’s how spiritual sight works.

18 As Jesus was saying this, the leader of a synagogue came and knelt before Him. “My daughter has just died,” he said, “but You can bring her back to life again if You just come and lay Your hand on her.”19 So Jesus and His disciples got up and went with Him. 20 Just then a woman who had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding came up behind Him. She touched the fringe of His robe, 21 for she thought, “If I can just touch His robe, I will be healed.”22 Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, “Daughter, be encouraged! Your faith has made you well.” And the woman was healed at that moment.23 When Jesus arrived at the official’s home, He saw the noisy crowd and heard the funeral music. 24 “Get out!” He told them. “The girl isn’t dead; she’s only asleep.” But the crowd laughed at Him. 25 After the crowd was put outside, however, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she stood up! 26 The report of this miracle swept through the entire countryside. Matthew 9:18-26
