“The RoseBouquet”

Did you catch this? Before Jesus explained the parable of the sower to His disciples, He told them that their eyes and ears were more blessed than all the prophets and righteous men of old - the Old Testament era - who would have loved to see and hear what they were seeing there in the deeds and words of Jesus.

He was the Son of God, remember, who had come to earth to reveal God to us, and the salvation God had promised to Adam and Eve after they sinned way back in the Garden of Eden.

Abel had believed in this Saviour that was to come some day, and thus He was saved by faith. So did Enoch, who walked with God, and walked all the way home with Him one day. But there were many others. Job, Abraham and Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Gideon, Samuel, David, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, and Habbakuk, and many others in between.

You and I know how hard it to believe in something that doesn’t happen in our lifetime; it will have taken a lot of faith for them too.

The disciples experienced Christ first hand and so most blessed of all. Still there were people at that time who had trouble believing.

All these generations since have had to believe too, but we must trust the words we read in the Bible, and believe that Jesus really, truly was here, and did and said those things. We have so much more evidence than the old testament saints and believers did! We ought to find it easiest of all to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.

PRAYER: Oh God, how can the human heart be so dark and untrusting? It’s more like we don’t want to believe than that we can’t be sure. Right now I feel ashamed for all the times I’ve hesitated to trust Your promises. The stories about Jesus are easy enough for me, it’s putting my full confidence on Your promises and obeying Your commands that sometimes gives me trouble.

Please help out my feeble faith and make it stronger! I choose - I want to believe and obey all You say!
