But the truth is that many of us bracket the biblical narrative off from our everyday life. \"If I had lived in Bible times... if I had seen the miracles...\" We make the Thomas mistake of imagining that seeing is believing.... The Holy Spirit enables us -- no, it compels us -- to see as Jesus saw and do as Jesus did. Believing is seeing: the gift of the Holy Spirit allows us to really comprehend what is going on around us and understand the positive role God wants us to play.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e -- from Easter 2 sermon, \"Believing Is Seeing\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough fascinating anecdotes and stories drawn from his experience as a campus minister, John Brittain applies the gospel readings from the Revised Common Lectionary to contemporary life.
