‘Jesus must appear to you and to your friend
individually; no one can see Jesus with your eyes. And division takes place when one has seen Him and the other has not.
You cannot bring your friend to the point of seeing; God must do it. Have you
seen Jesus? If so, you will want others to see Him too. “And they went and told
it to the rest, but they did not believe them either” (Mark 16:13). When you
see Him, you must tell, even if they don’t believe.’ CHAMBERS
Have you experienced that division in your
relationships? Because of your faith,
even your relationship with family members is not the same. The reason is that you are not the same. Now, you might be considered an oddity or someone
who is tolerated, because “you mean well”.
Those who have not ‘seen’ Jesus have not because they are spiritually
blind. Just like you once were. It is like you live in a place where there is no water. Everyone is struggling. Then, one day, you find water. You tell everyone you meet, but they don’t believe
you. "But it’s true!", you say. And still
they don’t believe it. They think you are a nut. Try as you might, you can’t convince them go to the water. All you can do is tell them what you've found.

Corinthians 4:3-4 “But
even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, (4)
whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest
the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should
shine on them.”

Corinthians 2:14 “But
the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are
foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually
discerned.”
Salvation .. seeing Jesus for who He is, is a
spiritual event .. not a result of logical persuasion. Our part is to go and tell … not to save … So go!
