Takeaways from 1minute daily devotion

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1

We pride ourselves in being logical creatures
who demand proof before believing most things.
Yet, a professor can tell us that there 100 trillion
stars in the sky, and we accept it without question.
We accept as absolute fact that an atom has neutrons
and electrons spinning around a nucleus, even though
we have never seen any of them.

We know that light travels 186,000 miles a second
even though we've personally never measured it.
And we agree that Lincoln wrote the Gettysburg Address,
and that E does, in fact, equal mc2.
We accept all these things as facts without ever demanding
the proof of their authenticity.
Yet so many of us will reject Jesus - risking our eternal souls
even when presented with solid proof-The witness of thousands
of people who saw the miracles of Jesus.
Testimonies from dozens who witnessed His death,
then saw Him alive after His resurrection.
And what about the fulfillment of prophecies concerning Jesus?
Yet even after being shown so much solid evidence,
many enlightened, logical people reject Jesus as "just some myth for the gullible."
In fact, the divinity of Jesus is just about the only thing people refuse to accept, even when evidence is overwhelming.


It's puzzling sometimes how one can trust imperfect man and not a perfect God.
