We want to continue in the theme of
belief from our Easter Sunday post; for the next steps are critical in relating
to the Christ we just celebrated as our risen Lord.
We go further with this thought:
“Believing in him is not the same as
believing things about him such as that He was born of a virgin and raised
Lazarus from the dead. Instead, it is a matter
of giving our hearts to him, of come hell or high water putting our money on
him, the way a child believes in a mother or a father, the way a mother or a
father believes in a child.”

Beuchner
Sunday we talked about believing in the
resurrection and the bursting forth from the tomb. Those are facts about Christ that we
choose to believe.
Mr. Beuchner is asking us if we believe
in Him. Was he some mystical man that
pulled off a few miracles including his own bursting forth, or is He the real
deal?
Is Christ the Son of God/Son of Man all
merged into one? Is He the promised
messiah, the Redeemer of the world? Is He
the Savior of the world?
Your answers to these questions become the
heart of the matter after all.

It really does come down to belief.
