Pastoral Thoughts
The pastor listened to the man agonize for a long time and then opened his Bible to the ninth chapter of Mark. He read to the man the account of a grieving father who had some serious doubts. Specifically, he had doubts as to whether Jesus could really heal his pain tortured son. In this account Jesus says, "Everything is possible for him who believes." Immediately the father of the boy exclaimed, 'I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief'!" Jesus healed the boy.
There are stories of people who refused to see a doctor because they were
counting on their faith to save them. When people go through a difficult
time in life, something that is often said is, "You just have to have
faith." When I hear that I would like to ask, "Faith in what?" Faith is
only as good as the object in which it puts its trust. What brings hope
and salvation is not faith, but the sinless crucified Son of God, Jesus
Christ. |
