If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things? No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.
If I will not believe the corporeal evidence of my senses, I will refuse to believe the incorporeal. Was Jesus prophesying the darkness that spread over all the land from the sixth hour until the ninth hour? Or the ripping of the veil from top to bottom? Or the earthquake that split rocks? Or the appearance of many saints who had fallen asleep? Matthew 27:45-53. A day of powerful earthly evidence that something changed.
Am I willing to trust Him, the One who settled my accounts with the LORD, God, the Almighty? Or am I searching for some corporeal explanation that does not require faith in the transcendental?
Today's readings in the Psalms:
