Today's question:
"If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things"

From John 3:
11 Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen; but you do not receive our testimony. 12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended from heaven, the Son of man. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.”

Reflection from Hailey Miller:

 
Did you notice the word believe is written twice in this verse?
 
Nicodemus is having a hard time understanding and believing in spiritual reality, so Jesus is having to explain it to him. Prior to verse 12, Jesus explains we can't see the Holy Spirit, just like the wind. But we can see the effects of the Holy Spirit, just like we can see trees getting bent by the wind. We can't see the Kingdom of God by our physical eye, but we believe and know through spiritual reality and through personal experiences it exists.
 
The way in to the Kingdom of God is through putting our confidence in Jesus, seeing God and the universe as he does, and growing in an engaging and personal relationship with God as Father through him.
 
Seeing isn't believing. Believing is seeing.
