In the Season of Seeing: Discovery

What is the season of seeing? In the season of seeing, what do you see?
Is it a time of discovery?
In the season of seeing the Lord is risen-
Can a season of seeing be a season of expectation?

Mat 28:6-7 “He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.”

Mat 28:10 “Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.”

Of all the people who saw Jesus after he was resurrected, many didn’t recognize him. Why didn’t they recognize him? Did he look different? 
Mary saw him and at first didn’t know it was Jesus-

John 20:14 “And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.”

Why didn’t they recognize him at first?
What is the season of seeing? It is a season of understanding.
When you see you comprehend. Other than that, you’re just observing.
It is time to see. It is time to believe.

John 20:8 “Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.”

John 20:20 “And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.”

Even Thomas, would not believe without seeing his hands and his side. Then he said, “My Lord and my God.”

Thomas had to see. He didn’t look to recognize his face.

They did not believe until they saw his hands and his side-
And now we believe without having seen him.

John 20:29 “Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.”

It is a time to see and believe.

2 Corinthians 4:18  “While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.”
