Luke 24 - Seeing is not always Believing

“36While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."
37They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. 38He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? 39Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have."
40When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. 41And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, "Do you have anything here to eat?" 42They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43and he took it and ate it in their presence.”

Jesus had to repeatedly show sign after sign of His resurrection to His followers for them to believe. They had been with Him, heard His teachings, been told He would return, yet they were very skeptical when it happened. They were even trying to explain it off as nonsense or even a ghost.

Many of the people you try to minister to will do the same thing. They will try to explain miracles scientifically, dismiss scripture, ignore reason, even after you show them time and time again, Jesus is Lord. Sometimes they will even ask you to test God to prove He is there, DO NOT DO THIS. One, you should not test God. Two, even with a “sign” they still wouldn’t believe. The best thing you can do for them is to pray for their salvation, keep living a godly example for them to follow, and keep ministering to them. For God is working on them from their side too. I know it can be frustrating, but even one soul is worth it. Amen?
