  4. Stanza 2 We did not see Jesus when He was lifted up on the cross. – Matthew 27:32-38 We did not hear His cry, “Forgive them for they do not know what they do” – Luke 23:33-34 However, based upon the Scripture we believe that Christ died for us. – Romans 5:8

  5. Stanza 3 We did not gaze into the open tomb as did the women. – Matthew 28:1-8 We did not meet Him on the open way, as the disciples of Emmaus, nor in the upper room with the twelve. – Mark 6:12-14 However, we believe the message of the angels about His resurrection. – Luke 24:5

  6. Stanza 4 We did not walk with the chosen few who accompanied the Lord following His resurrection. – Matthew 28:16-20 We did not raise to heaven our wondering view as the cloud took Him from earth. – Luke 24:50-53 However, we believe that Jesus ascended back into heaven just as the Scriptures teach. – Acts 1:9-11

  7. Concluding Thoughts The Bible teaches that we must believe in Jesus Christ as the divine Son of God in order to be saved from our sins. – John 8:24 His inspired word provides all the evidence that is needed to accept Him. And so, we must say to Christ, “Our faith firmly rests in Thee, O Lord, even though ‘We Saw Thee Not.’”
