Stop
Doubting
And
Believe.
Scripture
John
20
24 Now
Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with
the disciples when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples
told him, “We have seen the Lord!”
But
he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put
my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I
will not believe.”
26 A week
later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with
them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them
and said, “Peace be with you!”
27 Then he
said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out
your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”
29 Then
Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have
believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have
believed.”
Observation
Can
you say with me today as the once doubting Thomas said over 2000
years ago, after he saw Jesus' hands and Jesus' side, “My Lord and
my God”?
Or
are you one who is going to go through another Christmas still
doubting the existence of the very One whose special day we
celebrate?
And
… maybe you find yourself tired of all this Christmas stuff and
have a desire to move on to the normal 'business as usual' kind of
life!
If
today on Christmas Eve you find yourself still a doubter then I have
this to say to you today, “Stop doubting and believe!”
Join
in the celebration!
Application
I
am going to celebrate my Savior's birth!
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I believe! I celebrate my Savior's birth! I know without a
doubt that Jesus came and He came to die for me. I know that I don't
deserve to go to Heaven. I know I deserve to go to Hell. I am so glad
that You are not going to give me what I deserve!
I
pray for any person reading this blog who is still doubting that You
came into this World as a Babe in a manger. Help them to stop
doubting and help them to believe! Open up their spiritual eyes and
heart. Soften their hearts!
