Do you love what you have not seen?

Have you seen Jesus?

No is probably the answer for all of us though many in parts of the world have had a visitation of Christ, we haven’t.

Peter had seen Jesus alive leading the team of disciples; he had seen the resurrected Jesus; but he knows most others hadn’t.

“Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy.” (1 Peter 1:8)

There is no difference in the reality of experience between those who have not seen Jesus (us) and those who have (Peter).

We love Jesus the same.

We believe in Jesus the same. And more importantly …

He is the same, yesterday, today and forever.

So how is the love for Jesus created and formed within us?

Peter says it is through the refinement of our faith as we go through all kinds of trials.

This love Submits to His Lordship.

This love can be Seen in how we conduct our Lives.

This love is Submerged in Christ’s Love for others in the world.
