Doubt

Matthew 28; 1 Thel 1-3

S: Matt 28: 17 “When they saw him, they worshiped him, but some doubted.”

O: Jesus has been crucified and now He has risen. He has appeared to the women and now he appears to the disciples. He was right before their eyes – right there – but still there were some who doubted what they were seeing.

A: Why is it something can be staring you right in the face but still there is doubt? It’s not easily understood, but it appears to be just part of one’s nature sometimes – to doubt – like “doubting Thomas.” God can clearly speak to us, but the enemy constantly says, it’s for someone else, even for everyone else, but it’s not meant for you. That little bit of doubt gets in the way and our enemy gladly snowballs it into major interference.

P: Jesus please help us to erase our skepticism. You offer everything and our misgivings nothing. Have mercy on us so that we can be hopeful to see you when you’re right there in front of us!
