1 Corinthians 1:18-31
The idea that a God would become a human being that died for the sins of the entire world and resurrect Himself seems to be foolishness to a lot of people. I heard one person say, "it just seems pretty impossible". And I agree, it seems ludicrous but at the same time for someone to do what Jesus did it proves He is God. Only a God would be powerful enough to make Himself a human being and be mortal wounded, then turn around and come back from death. No one has ever declared that they allow someone to kill them and then proclaim that after being dead for three days that they would return to life. And even if someone else was bold enough to make that claim they have never been able to produce any results.
But this makes it clear to me that to believe in Jesus I have to consider my wisdom worthless when compared to God's. Our wisdom does have value, don't get me wrong. But when compared to the wisdom of God it pales in comparison. And though faith appears foolish to some, this foolishness has transformed lives for over 2,000 years.
Some people want a sign that Jesus lived and/or is alive. Others are looking for a logical reason to believe as opposed to faith. But if you ask for one sign it is not enough to cause you to believe. If you ask for a logical explanation it won't satisfy. Only faith can satisfy belief and trust in God. Only faith can please God, our eyes deceive and shake our beliefs. But faith in Jesus sustains us. As always it is a choice we make and to believe in Jesus. And you do not need to believe it for it to be true.
Stay focused, you can do this!
"In His JOY!"
