FAITH

MARK 3:7-19a

FAITH

“…and the un-clean spirits whenever they saw Him cried out saying ‘you are the Son of God,’ but He sternly warned them they should not make Him known.” Mark 3:11-12

Christianity that we believe in is based on a faith in an unseen God. Even with Jesus performing many miracles, there was still doubt and denial as to who He was. I believe this command for the evil to remain silent was to keep the mystery; to leave enough unknown that we can not only believe but have our own inquisitive nature to help us build our faith.

 I have no doubt that Jesus is the Son of God, but I also believe He did not want to lay out vivid proof. This would leave no need for faith. It would be black and white; we would see it all and therefore be so informed we would not need to choose. We would be less human.

God gave us some mystery so we can read the Bible and choose His way. Salvation is free. We need only to make the right choice.

Heavenly Father: Help us to always keep our faith....Amen
