The Great Question

Jesus asked them, “Do you believe I can make you see?”

“Yes, Lord,” they told him, “we do.”

MATTHEW 9:28

“Jesus told her…‘Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying…. Do you believe this Martha?’ ‘Yes, Lord,’ she told him.” From what we have seen and heard of Christ Jesus, our heart is ready to say with Martha: “I have always believed you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who has come into the world from God” (John 11:25–27). But when it comes to believing Christ’s promise to us of His abiding presence, we do not find it so easy to say, “I believe.” Yet it is this faith that Christ desires to work within us.

We must understand clearly what the conditions are on which Christ offers to reveal to us the secret of His abiding presence. God will not force His blessings on us against our will. He seeks in every possible way to stir our desire and to help us to realize that He is able and willing to make His promises true. The resurrection of Christ from the dead is His great, all-prevailing evidence.

Now the great question is whether we are willing to take Him at His word and rest in the promise: “I am with you always” (Matthew 28:20). Christ’s question to us is: “Do you believe?” Let us not rest until we have bowed before Him in prayer and said: “Yes, Lord, I do believe.”

Lord, I take You at Your word and rest in Your promises today. Even though I did not see with my own eyes, I believe by faith that you were dead and rose again, to be forever alive. Thank You, Jesus. Amen.
