Invisible Things Can Be Seen

Invisible things can be seen with the eyes of the heart. Love’s invisible, but I can see it. Hope’s invisible, but I can see it. Faith’s invisible, but I can see it.

God’s kingdom is invisible and supernatural, but it can be “seen” and experienced with the eyes of faith, both day and night! “Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, ‘The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.’” (Luke 17:20-21)

Jesus said: “Stop judging by appearances but instead judge correctly.” (John 7:24) Things often aren’t the way they appear to us. As humans we can easily be deceived. We need to learn to be like Moses who didn’t fear the king’s anger because he “saw Him (God) who is invisible.” (Hebrews 11:27.)

We need to “fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:18) We need to spend our life “looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith,” (Hebrews 12:2) not unto a mere human leader.

We need to allow the risen Jesus Christ, Himself to be our King and our Lord (Revelation 19:16) and to govern our thoughts and actions from within. Like Abraham, we need to be looking not at what human power and ability can do. We need to be looking to God’s inner, invisible, and supernatural kingdom — “the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God,” (Hebrews 11:10) — “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” (Colossians 1:27)

Are you ready and willing to see the invisible presence and reality of the risen Jesus? Look and see!
