doubt

And have mercy on some, who are doubting;
Jude 1:22 NASB1995

Everyone deals with doubt at one time or another, even believers who walk with Jesus. Take Peter for example, who was a disciple of Christ at the time Jesus walked on the sea. Peter got out of the boat to walk to Jesus. Peter’s focus was on Jesus until the wind picked up and he became frightened. Jesus, of course, reached out to save him and spoke these words, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?

Peter who stepped out in faith, was a disciple of our Lord, and yet he doubted Jesus.
Matthew 14:28-33

There are people in our churches today who doubt. Can we extend mercy to them and lead them to the assurance we have in our future because of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior?

They are lacking assurance of faith, living in worry for the day, focused on everyday life instead of Jesus and eternity.

🌹Let us show mercy to those who attend church, yet doubt. Let us extend mercy to all who doubt.

But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated. When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful.
Matthew 28:16-17 NASB

The disciples saw Jesus face to face and worshiped Him. . . . BUT some were doubtful. Why?

In Mark 16:11 it says when the eleven heard Jesus was alive and had been seen, they refused to believe. Could they have doubted because “we are His disciples so He surely would come to us first”?

In Luke 24:11 when the women came from the tomb stating that an angel told them Jesus had risen, the disciples thought they were talking nonsense and would not believe them.

Jesus confronted them in Mark 16:14, for their “unbelief and hardness of heart.

Are you experiencing doubt, unbelief, hardness of heart? Seek Jesus in prayer. He wants to hear from you. He wants to strengthen your walk, lighten your load, guide you to the Father and fulfill His purpose in you. We can’t do life alone. We need Jesus.

🌹Jesus, help my unbelief. Soften my heart for those in need of belief in You. And when I doubt Lord, remind me that you are with me even to the end of the age. I need you Jesus. Amen.
