If I say I saw the sun rise
this morning
To someone who did not see
it do so,
Is it enough because it
is high in the sky
To assume an actual rising
took place?
If I wrote down I saw the
sun rise today
For those to later read
who did not see it,
Is it enough because it's
written down
That readers this afternoon
could believe?
If I had pictures of the
sun rising years ago
For those who'd never seen
the light of day,
Is it enough with its image
clearly captured
To trust as if they had
seen it themselves?
How many of you saw the Son
rise yourself?
How many of you heard about
it from others?
How many of you read what
others had written?
Did you then assume it was
true?
Did you then believe it
happened?
Did you trust that He rose
indeed?
What do we do with what the
women said?
What do we do with Peter
and John's words?
And what about what Thomas
and Paul saw?
They all, and many more,
saw and believed.
Blessed are those who don't
see
and still believe.
