Matthew 8:5-13 – “Though you have not seen Him…”

The world has a common saying: “I’ll believe it when I see it.” But is this always the best way to see? Must we always insist on seeing something before we’re willing to believe it has happened? Or is there a better way?

In His conversation with Thomas after His resurrection, Jesus says there is a special blessing for those who have not seen and yet still believe (John 20:29). This is just as true today as it was for the first-century church.

This past Sunday, we met a man of faith who believed without needing to see. This man exemplified faith, love, and trust. He understood authority and the power of God. But he wasn’t a religious professional—he was a gentile, a Roman Centurion who caused Jesus to marvel.

Watch our study of Matthew 8:5-13 as we consider the blessing of believing, then seeing.
