Forrest keep in mind the context of the chapter is faith.
the verse in you quetions states, As seeing him who is invisible. as seeing is a term used to discribe his faith. faith is the substance of things hope for and the evidence of things unseen.
He could see the delieverance of the people as promised by faith, he knew God would fulfill his promise no matter what afflictions come upon him for his faith in Gods word. it is all about his faith not about physical fact of sight, but of spiritual sight.
what was his excersice of his faith (a work) in that they kept the PASSOVER. remember God told them to do this thing and they would live. what would happen if they hadn't? the firstborn of all Israel would of died too?
