Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live.”
John 14: 19
Science has proven the certainty of many things we cannot see – light, wind, sound, and even WiFi. How do we know these things to be true? Because of the evidence. We can sense it, feel it, or hear it.
So when Jesus says things like “the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me” my mind goes into overdrive and the questions start flowing. Jesus, where will I see you? How will I know it’s you? What if it’s not actually you and I’m just deceiving myself?
Then the Spirit reminds me to look for the evidence. What evidence? The fruit of the Spirit.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23
Where do you see unconditional love? What about peace? Patience? My friend, that’s Jesus. Right there in plain sight.
Gracious God, thank you for sending your Spirit to dwell in us. Help us to bear fruit as a witness that you are alive and well in this world. Amen
