MIRACLES IN 2025
The Blessing of Seeing
Luke 10:23-24
And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see: Luk 10:24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
Many times we forget the blessing of having the Word of God in our hands to show us all that Jesus said and did. He told the disciples that they were blessed to have that opportunity. And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:
He told them that the old prophets looked into the Word which they had and were not able to see the fulfillment of the prophesies until Jesus was walking the earth.
But we have this blessing in the completed Word of God and must take advantage of it. Jesus said to His disciples, For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear and have not heard them. Jesus told His disciples of the privilege they had, and as the disciples of Christ today, we have this blessing also. How many of us are aware of this, and how many of us are really digging into the Word to understand the things of which He was speaking?
As the time approaches for His return, we must exert all the energy and time that is necessary to truly learn His Word.
What a blessed people we are who know the Lord as our Savior and enjoy the privilege of having His Word in our hands. What a shame that so few of us really know what the Word says and how to apply it to our lives. If the prophets of old desired to see these things that we see, shouldn’t we endeavor to understand all there is to know of our Lord through His Word? For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. Let’s look for the blessing of seeing as we dive into the Word of God to really understand it and to know our Savior better!
