Mark 16:14 “Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.”

   Regardless of what our sentiments might be, Jesus expected us to believe His witnesses. Even at the very beginning, when He could just appear to them and relive all doubt, He expected belief through the witnesses.
   This has always been true, by the way. God has put things, and people, into our lives to tells us of Him. Natural and special revelation show us the truth. And we are expected to believe without God sending an angel to our living room. He will resist those who feel that a second hand account is not sufficient. Looking for a first hand experience before accepting the second hand report will lead one down the road to destruction.

Heavenly Father, help us to be faithful witnesses! You alone may give us the power we need for this awesome task. We must not shirk it. To witness of the Creator is to be a fulfilled creation. It is our best task. Thank You! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
