| Summary: | The author reflects on the meaning of seeing Jesus Christ based on the accounts of the first witnesses of His resurrection on Easter Sunday. He asserts that the gospels reveal that there is no direct correlation between seeing and believing. He explains that the resurrection caused the disciples to look backwards, where they saw things in the past with fresh eyes that now made sense of the present. He adds that the disciples could look to the future too, knowing that seeing is not the same as believing. |
