Listening to Jesus
Jesus is talking in Manna. He "walks and talks with me" in a beautiful place that He has brought me. Faith is built by reading and speaking while belief is easy and instant, like a mustard seed.
It helps not to be too rich. Rich, for example, as a well to do man who already thinks he has afforded his own heaven. But also there is the educated man who is burdened by too much seen-knowledge of unsophisticated education that falls behind the unseen truths because he cannot keep up with the growing knowledge of his expanding ignorance.
All his worldly knowledge creates so much doubt it magnifies belief only as far as the believable . I suspect that even the knowledge taught in a seminary has educated professors out of a belief in God. Does meaning actualize belief?
