Faith in the Unseen

Read It: 1 Peter 1:8-9

8Although you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy, 9for you are receiving the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

Learn It:

This passage from Peter emphasizes the idea that those of us who have not seen Jesus and yet believe in him, his miracles, his resurrection from the dead (this Easter season we are now in).  With that belief we have this joy that and that trust in his promises we have a joy that is unconquerable.  The reward we receive for this belief and trust in Jesus is eternal life with him and God.  What a wonderful gift 

Share It:

Lots of Bible teachers like to use the wind as a symbol or sign of something you can't see but you know that it exists. With that in mind... What ways do you see God in your lives and in the world around you?  What ways is Jesus present in your life even though you don't physically see him?  

Live It:

Knowing that Jesus is present in our lives what are the ways that you individually or as a family express that joy and rejoice in knowing that Jesus is always with us and that the promises are real?  Take this week and really take time to express your joy for the wonderful gift of faith and life.
