This week we went into depth in the miracles of Jesus Christ. As part of the reading I did, I read John 2:23.
"Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did."
I think it's interesting that they believed in Him only after they saw His miracles. Do we believe in Him only if we see a miracle or evidence of Him in our lives? Do we constantly seek for evidence that the gospel is true? Or do we choose to believe in Him? I believe faith is a choice we make.
My brother is not active in the Church and he has a problem with the concept of faith. He simply can't (or doesnt want to) choose to believe in something that he cannot logically prove.
I can't think of anything in the Gospel that can be proven true. I believe God made it that way. We must seek truth from Him and Him alone. I encourage anyone who is looking for proof to find it from God. (But that proof He gives you won't be able to be proven to other people!)
