According to the accurate accounts of Dr. Luke in the first chapter of the book of Acts, "Jesus presented Himself alive, after His suffering by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days, and speaking of the things concerning the kingdom of God." (Acts 1:3)
Why is it that many of us who claim to be Christians do not boldly proclaim our faith? Is there any other religion, be it Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Mormonism, where the founder of that particular faith appeared after death for 40 days and was teaching his disciples.
Can a God who does this create the earth in 6 literal days? Can a God who does this part the Red Sea? Can a God who does this flood the entire earth? Can a God who does this make a donkey speak? Can a God who does this raise the dead? Can a God who does this feed well over 5000 people with a few loaves and fishes?
Why is it that we need more convincing of the magnitude of God's Power? What else do we want? He has plucked us from the path we were on and holds us gently in His hand. He has set His word before us, made it plentiful in our land. Can He not do anything He wishes to do?
Can He heal our land? Can He bring the homosexual to salvation? Can He heal us from our sickness and strife? Can He bring Peace? Can He save our friends and relatives who do not yet confess and believe in Him? Does He choose to do all these things? Are we asking Him to do these things and do we trust Him to do it?
Do you hear Him now saying, O Ye of little faith? Believe in Him NOW!
