有人質疑我說：「你不是也沒見過耶穌嗎？」
是的，我雖沒見過，但我經歷了祂的同在。聖經的新約記載了關於耶穌的事跡，是那些見過耶穌並且跟祂相處過的人，他們寫的和記載的，耶穌，他是一個在歷史上真實存在的人物。我們的神是三位一體的神。三個位格，聖父，聖子，聖靈。天父上帝沒人見過，所以在新約的時候主耶穌道成肉身向人們表明，他是神的化身，是上帝自己以人之姿來到世上。

我沒有見過耶穌但我經歷耶穌，將來有一天我還要再見祂。舊約是祂應許彌賽亞將來的的時代，人們在期待彌賽亞的來到，新約時代是彌賽亞（既主耶穌基督）已經來到了，而我們現在是彌賽亞來過之後，因為主耶穌基督已經又回到天上，祂應許還會再來。

我們讀新約應該看到耶穌離開世上的時候，祂說保惠師，就是聖靈，要內住在信祂名接受祂救恩的人當中。我們現在的這個時代是憑信心相信的時代。我們只有選擇信與不信，然後去經歷神的同在。如果我們不明白，只要跟神求智慧，但是在求之前我們必須要謙卑下來，相信祂是神，相信屬於神的奧秘，就是屬於神的，因為人的有限無法明白，也不用明白，屬於人應該知道的事情，聖靈會啓悟我們，但在神面前傲慢，自以為聰明和自以為是的人是不會得著的。

「道成了肉身，住在我們中間，充充滿滿地有恩典有真理，我們也見過祂的榮光，正是父獨一兒子的榮光。 約翰為祂作見證，喊著說：「這就是我曾說：『那在我以後來的先於我，因為在我以前，祂已經存在。』」 從祂的豐富里，我們都領受了恩典，而且恩上加恩。 律法是借著摩西頒布的；恩典和真理卻是由耶穌基督來的。 從來沒有人見過上帝，只有在父懷裡獨一的兒子將祂表明出來。」約翰福音 1:14-18 

「沒有信，就不能討上帝的喜悅，因為到上帝面前來的人必須信有上帝，並且信祂會賞賜尋求祂的人。」 希伯來書 11:6

「「隱秘的事是屬耶和華─我們上帝的，但明顯的事是永遠屬我們和我們子孫的，為要叫我們遵行這律法上的一切話。」」申命記 29:29 RCUV

Someone questioned me and asked, "Have you also never seen Jesus?" I answered “No, I have never seen Him. But, although I have never seen Him, I have experienced His presence.” The New Testament of the Bible records the deeds of Jesus. It is written and recorded by those who have seen Jesus and have been with Him. Jesus is a real person in history. Our God is a triune God. Three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. No one has ever seen God the Father. So, God the Son (the Lord Jesus) became flesh to reveal God to the human race. He was was the incarnation of God and God himself came to the world as a man.

I haven't seen Jesus, but I have experienced Jesus. And, some day I will see Him again. The Old Testament was the era in which the promised Messiah was to come. People were looking forward to the coming of the Messiah. In the New Testament era, the Messiah (the Lord Jesus Christ) did come. We are now in the era after the Messiah has come. The Lord Jesus Christ has returned to heaven, but He has promised us that he will come back again.

When we read the New Testament, we should see that when Jesus left the world, He said that the Comforter (the Holy Spirit) would indwell those who believe in His name and accept His salvation. Our current era is an era of faith. We can only choose to believe or not, and then we can experience the presence of God. If we don’t understand, we just ask God for wisdom. However before we ask, we must humble ourselves, believing that He is God. Believing that the mystery belongs to God, and we are not accountable for it. Because of the limitation and finiteness of our minds, we cannot understand everything and there is no need to understand everything. The Holy Spirit will enlighten us about the things that should be known. But, when we are arrogant, or think of ourselves as being smart, or when we think we are self-righteous before God, then we will not understand.

So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son. John testified about him when he shouted to the crowds, “This is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘Someone is coming after me who is far greater than I am, for he existed long before me.’” From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another. For the law was given through Moses, but God’s unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God. But the unique One, who is himself God, is near to the Father’s heart. He has revealed God to us. （John 1:14-18 NLT）

And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him. （Hebrews 11:6 NLT）

“The Lord our God has secrets known to no one. We are not accountable for them, but we and our children are accountable forever for all that he has revealed to us, so that we may obey all the terms of these instructions.（Deuteronomy 29:29 NLT）
