"Faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservation." - D. Elton Trueblood

"You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me." Jesus

Why does Jesus commend faith without actually seeing proof? One reason might be that He wants to tie us inseparably to the testimony of those who did. Why should we not believe a reliable witness when they tell us they saw something? Trust is integral to any belief. If we want proof, let us examine the fruit of those who say they witnessed the resurrection. A reliable witness deserves the trust of a reliable faith. Conversations Within” ts 7/14/2014
