You Can't
Believe
Your Eyes!
By Chinton Ward
Pastor
Methodist
Churcnes
Pembroke
Charge
“You Can't Believe Your Eyes!”
You don’t agree. You think that
lam wrong. Well, Ithink that I |
can prove to you that you can’t 1
believe your eyes. ;
At Springfield, Massachusetts 1
there was a covered well — 1200 |
feet long. A farmer with a load l
of hay came to the bridge, looked ‘
in, and turning his wagon around, l
went back the way he had come.
He told someone, “I could have
gotten into the bridge at my end.
But 1 never could have gotton out
at the far end. The far end of the
bridge was just too little.”
Go stand in the middle of the
rail-road track and look down the
railroad, Don’t you agree that the
tracks seem to get closer and
closer together the father away
you look ? If you look far enough,
it seems that the rail-road irons
almost come together.
“You Can’t Believe Your Eyes!”
The farmer’s eyes told him that
the far end of the bridge was
smaller than the end where he
stood. Your eyes try to tell you
that the rail-road track gets clos
er the farther away it goes from
you, That farmer’s eyes were
wrong. The bridge was the same
size at both ends. The rail-road |
tracks are the same width where
you stand and miles away. i
“You Can’t Believe Your Eyes!” |
Well, just what can a fellow be- |
lieve? I tell you we must believe |
some things with faith! We must
look with the eyes of faith. Paul
was blinded with things of this
world. But when he looked to|
Jesus Christ on the Damascus
road, Christ swept the scales from
Paul's eyes and Paul began fto |
see things with the eyes of faith '
through Jesus Christ. Life took '
on a new meaning such as he had
never known. And his service to
man is untold. Paul came later to |
say, “I know whom I have believed |
and am persuaded that He is able |
to keep that which I have com
mitted unto Him against that day.” |
(11 Tim. 1:12) s
We look too much with our own
blind eyes. We should look with the
eyes of faith through Jesus Christ.
And when we do this we will come
to have a new joy which will drive
out fear and doubt. And some
things that “We can’t quite see”
we will do through faith. And the
doing of those things will bring
blessing and gladness and peace,
