Lesson 8 Review: Seeing the Invisible

 

Introduction

Memory Text: “By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible” (Hebrews 11:27, NKJV).

We need faith to see “him who is invisible” not simply when times are good but especially when everything is wrong. “He perceived because he saw him who is invisible”, the knowledge of the truth about God enables us to stand strong when we are in the crucible and may be tempted to doubt everything.

What logic can be found in Romans 8:28-39 that can guard our minds against doubting God’s goodness?

“He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him freely give us all things?”. God who sent His only son to die for us cannot all of a sudden turn mean and stingy, there is no reason for us to doubt God.

What assurance does the name of Jesus give us?

We can be sure that when we ask anything in the name of Jesus, ‘the whole machinery of heaven is at work on our behalf, we may not see it, it may not also be as dramatic as when Jesus calmed the stormy sea, but it doesn’t mean that God is not at work.

What hope and promises can be found in Ephesians 1:18-23?

‘There is the hope of transformation and eternal future. Also, the resurrection gave Jesus the power to rule and provide every possible thing His people can ever need for all eternity that is enough hope for us.

What reason does Peter give to not worry about our problems?

“Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7, NKJV). We do not need to worry about our problems when we can so easily cast our problems upon Jesus, He cares and He will solve the problem for us.

What hope does Isaiah 40:27-31 have for the terrible circumstances when we feel God has forsaken us?

Isaiah 40:27-31 was Isaiah’s description of God to the people of God who were exiles telling them that they have no reason to fear or feel uncared for by God, because God is aware of the issue and still cares for them, God will still give them strength to carry on.

 In Conclusion,

God is a loving, generous and good God, He who sent His Son to die can do even more for us, He cares for us and we should never feel that we are alone in whatever circumstance we may be facing. What we need is faith to see God’s face. I pray that we have that faith to see God’s face in Jesus’ name.
