If you have young children, you may recognize the title of this post as a quote. For those that may not have the powers of kid-TV-knowledge, the quote comes from a character beloved by many: Winnie the Pooh. Whenever he gets in a bind, you see him with hand tapping the side of his head, with that arm held up by the other. “Think…think…think…”

We started some thoughts on whether it is good for us to long to physically see Christ while we live on this earth. For whatever reason, many have come to believe that they must see Him.

There are few in the New Testament who saw Christ following His ascension into the clouds. We talked about two of them in the previous post. Let’s look at one more, and then see if we can tell why they were allowed to see Jesus.
