I used to worry about stuff like…how could you feed 5,000 people with just 3 fish and 5 loaves? There must be some logical explanation. Maybe the fish were whales and the bread was the world’s biggest loaf like the one in “Ripply’s--believe it or not”. And what about that “water into wine” thing? Surely there is some chemical explanation for that. And how about Christ’s body and blood being present in the Eucharist? All these questions were very puzzling and perplexing to my tiny scientific mind…until…I figured out that…God was God. He could do anything He wants to do…and I don’t have to understand it.
The one thing I still can’t fathom is why God would send His only begotten Son to become man, then die the most agonizing death on the cross…just for me, just because He loves me.
I guess I will never get my head around that one…but I can get my heart around it. It brings me to tears every time I think about what Jesus went though just to show me the way, the light, the truth.
Thank you, Lord, for all you went through.
Thank you, Lord, for putting up with my unbelief.
Please, Lord Jesus, give me the heart to believe what my head will never understand.
Amen
