When one is a child, I myself thought, since they were adults, they had the complicity of God. Faith however, I did not then understand, comes in different intensity levels. There is little faith and there is great faith. Now it stands to reason that anything that is hard to believe requires a lot of great faith. Jesus said that if one had enough faith, they could cast mountains into the sea. So, if something is easy to believe there is little need for Faith whatever.
What is really hard to believe it that anyone could rise from the dead! Really, no one has done it since, either before after or ever. It was never even copied, because? Well, who could believe it? I think that in order to believe it for starters, is that one has to have in their mind the concept of spirit as directly opposed to the physical world engaged in wholly growing and fading appearances always changing.
I know it is there, but I have not experienced it yet. On the other hand, around the time, right after someone very important to me has passed, like breath within a breeze, I wonder. I sense something momentarily I must understand later. Like others have put it, by Paul for one. It is all now in a fog, but afterward, face to face.
