| Time to Believe Before it is Too Late. |
Verses: John 2: 22-25
My thoughts about the verses:
Haven't we all had those moments where we think to ourselves that Jesus has no idea what I am going through. How can God truly feel the pain that I am in? Would God really let me go through this struggle if Jesus really knew what it was like?
Yet, isn't that why God became human flesh. God knew that we would have to see to believe. True Faith is trusting in Christ without having to see it to believe it. Yet, we fail this many times. Jesus was a sacrifice for us so that we could understand how much God truly loved us.
That sacrifice wasn't just a mere thought but a truly living breathing human being. God knew that we needed to see before we would believe in the sacrifice. Imagine being able to see Jesus when he was on the earth. How could you not truly believe in Jesus? Yet, Jesus knew the hearts of humankind and realized that for many seeing would not lead to true belief.
Would we be one of those that saw Jesus but would not truly believe in Jesus? Jesus felt the hearts of man and knew the only way that people would believe was through his own sacrifice. Those healing and other miracles would not be enough. That we would need a sacrifice of blood and spirit to bring us the salvation we needed. Jesus understood this because of living in human form.
Prayer:
Dear God we thank you for the many sacrifices that you have done for us. We thank you for giving us Jesus. We ask right now that you surround us with your love. May we truly understand how much your love is for us. In your precious and holy name we pray. Amen
Questions:
Do you believe in God's sacrifice? Have you accepted Christ in your heart? Are you willing to trust through ultimate faith or do you need to see miracles first? What was the last miracle that you saw? Are you dealing with something that you believe Jesus doesn't understand? Do you need to turn things over so you can receive all the healing that your body, mind, and spirit needs?
