Nevertheless, eyewitnesses to a miraculous phenomenon have a quality of belief in it that is elevated above others who learn about it through the spoken word. In this respect, eyewitnesses to the events in Christ's life had a distinct advantage over others in their faith. They had been transformed by His presence, and had been raised to such heights of certitude that few of their fellow believers of later generations could ever hope to rival or surpass (110:7) But, remember, the number of such eyewitnesses were relatively few. Only a handful had been given the bounty of seeing with their own eyes Christ's mighty works. His miracles, therefore, cannot be proof for everyone of His divine station, because for the most part, people could not then, and cannot now, see these miracles
(110:8)
