People say that if they had proof, they’d believe in Jesus.
But that’s not true. Because people can have an open mind and still have a hard
heart.
Jesus fed 5000 with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. But later, his disciples wondered how he would feed 4000 people, even though there were 7 loaves of bread and more fish.
A big crowd saw Jesus raise Lazarus from the dead. But the religious leaders didn’t care. Instead, they plotted to kill both Lazarus and Jesus. And the big crowd followed Jesus into Jerusalem, shouting his praises. Yet, just a few days later, they started shouting curses.
Jesus told the story of a rich man in hell, who wanted someone to go back and warn his family. Jesus said if they didn’t believe the Bible, they wouldn’t believe even if they saw someone come back from the dead. And Jesus did come back from the dead, and people still don’t believe. Why? Because people don’t need proof, they need repentance and faith. They need to be born again. And they don’t want proof; they want their sin.
