The sensation we feel when we discover we have put our faith in an illusion is deeply disturbing and life changing. Anyone who passes through a disillusion can become a cynic and completely incapable of exercising faith except with a long list of guarantees attached.
Focusing on Jesus will not produce a disillusion. Jesus said “Whoever sees me sees the Father.” With this simple statement Jesus was either telling the pure truth or lying in order to create a horrible illusion. With these words Jesus invites humanity to look to Him to see God. He guarantees His claim with His life.
Focusing on Jesus moment by moment will never leave a human disillusioned. Jesus is God made visible and available for us and among us. Jesus does not offer a list of guarantees. He is the guarantee. He is not an illusion.
Jesus invites especially the disillusioned to believe again.
