Him Ye Believe Not

"And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not."  John 5:38.  Jesus was the fulfillment of the prophets whom they said would come.  The details of His coming were foretold.  His words were indeed a testimony that He was the One whom God would send.  Because they refused to hear His word, they did not believe.  We have for us this day the word that Jesus spoke.  We are to hear that word.  His word provides a guiding light for us.  His word gives us stability in a world that is surely unstable.  His word insures us of His coming to save us from the awful malady of sin.  As He speaks unto us, He tells us of His nature, His love for us, and His sacrifice to offer unto us eternal life.  However, we must believe Him.  We must be assured that He speaks the words of truth and life.  Whether we believe Him will determine our journey to the next life.  Let us not be as those to whom He speaks these words, but let us believe Him that life might be ours.
