It is not easy to believe in God who has
come as a human being. Suppose a young man who is about 30 yrs old says: “I am
God. Believe in me.” Would you easily believe him to be God? With this in mind
let’s travel back to 2000 yrs ago when Jesus came.
Matthew 11:2-6 “When John heard in prison what Christ was doing, he sent his
disciples to ask him, “Are you the one who was to come, or should we expect
someone else?” Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and
see: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is
preached to the poor. Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of
me.”
Even John the Baptist, who was given the mission to testify to
Christ, didn’t have perfect faith in Jesus, and asked Him: “Are you the one who
was to come?” God who ate the same foods as me and lived together with me! When
people ridiculed Him, He was just ridiculed; when they dragged Him, He was
dragged; and when they flogged Him, He was helplessly beaten and whipped. He
looked so helpless, even less than any other man. The fact itself that He came
in the flesh became a testing and stumbling block to the people. So Jesus said,
“Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me.”
