SO YOU ALSO CAN BELIEVE
Today's reading: John 19-21
"This report is from an eyewitness giving an accurate account; it is presented so that you also can believe." John 19:35 NLT
In the middle of John's account of the trial, crucifixion and death of Jesus, John inserts this one sentence.
This statement of fact.
This purpose for his writings.
That we, thousands of years removed from that scene in Jerusalem, can believe.
That we can believe in Jesus.
That we can believe He was wrongly accused, falsely tried, given an undeserved death sentence.
That we can believe He willingly died.
That we can believe He was placed in a cemetery plot.
That we can believe He rose again.
Isn't that the overarching reason God gave us the Bible in the first place--that we believe in His Son!
From Genesis to Revelation, everything points to Jesus and us believing in Him.
So I ask you--Do you believe?
