Have you ever thought about the disciples of Jesus much. They were dumber than a fence post. They watched Jesus make water into wine, how did he do that?! They gathered up all the left overs when Jesus took a little kids lunch and multiplied it enough so that 5,000 men, their wives and kids were all fed to over flowing. They watched Lazerous hop out of the tomb at the command of Jesus after being dead for days. They watched Him walk on water. They listened to Him teach about Himself being the long-awaited Messiah. And then when he was arrested and crucified they fell apart. It seems strange that so little sunk in with them. It seems like it would have been easy for them to think, “No biggy, He will be back in three days.”
What about us?
Romans 1:19-20
because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.
We are afraid of death, we get uptight about a virus, we worry and fret about our financial future, we constantly are getting our feelings hurt. Do we really have any faith?
Colossians 3:2
Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.
Friday night at the “Good Friday” service when you eat the piece of bread and drink the cup, say to yourself and to God, “I believe! And I will live like it!”
