John 11:40 … To truly Believe (01/05/17)
“If you truly Believed,
you would See the Glory of God.”
~ Jesus (John 11:40)
This verse makes more sense (and is indeed practically quite verifiable) when we capitalize the word “Believed” – and thereby define it is an act; and when we capitalize the word “See” – and thereby define it as an experience. For “the Glory of God” (which for Jesus was the expression of perfect, unconditional, self-sacrificial Love – see Matthew 5:48 & John 13:15-17 & Matthew 16:28 + Matthew 24:30 et al) cannot ever be seen with the eyes; but rather must be felt with body & thereby known with the Soul … Similarly, there is no way to “truly Believe” with the thoughts of the mind or the emotions of the Heart; for true Belief must be enlivened by the body — & thereby be Known by the Soul as well.
