The post Elisha: The Man Who Sees appeared first on Christian Bible Church of the Philippines.

Sa mundong ito na napapalibutan ng kapahamakan, pagdurusa, at kahirapan, pananampalataya ang magpapakita sa atin ng matitinding katotohanang hindi napapansin ng ating mga mata. Sa pagkwento ng mga karanasan ni Elisha, ipinapaalala sa atin ni Ptr. Michael Cariño na ang Diyos na ating kakampi ay higit na mas malakas sa anumang sindak, takot, galit, o kalaban na pumapalibot sa atin.

In a world where disasters, suffering, pain, and problems surround us, faith enables us to see a more powerful reality that is invisible to the naked eye. By recounting the story of Elisha, Ptr. Michael Cariño reminds us that the God who is on our side is stronger than any panic, fear, hate, or enemy that surrounds us.
