We have all heard of ‘love at first sight.’ I am not sure I believe in it, but when I first saw my wife Mary I was certainly greatly attracted and the more I saw her and learned about her I loved her more and more. Maybe there is something to love at first sight. I just am not sure.
But what we see here is more amazing – here we read about ‘love at no sight.’ Love at no sight is love based only on faith – and faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence not seen. Faith make love at no sight possible. Without ever seeing Him we choose to love Him.
But that’s not all. The love without sight causes us to rejoice with ‘joy unspeakable and full of glory.’ We have yet to see Him face to face, but we see Him in His word and in His care for us. We see Him in the Holy Spirit of comfort. We see Him in the love we have for each other.
We haven’t seen Him in person yet – but we believe. And in believing we find our joy.
