    Don't Be Stubborn-Just Believe

    The document discusses Jesus' rebuke of the Eleven for their lack of faith and stubborn refusal to believe the testimony of others who saw Jesus alive after his resurrection. It notes that while the Eleven's disbelief was understandable given seeing Jesus die, they had witnessed Jesus raise Lazarus from the dead and Jesus said he would rise again. Therefore, the lesson is not to doubt what Jesus says will happen and to remember past miracles and answered prayers, as the God who helped in the past will continue to do so today, so we should just believe no matter how impossible things seem and not be stubborn in our refusal to do so.

    Don’t Be Stubborn – Just Believe!


    April 29, 2009

    Mark 16:14 “Jesus appeared to the Eleven…he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn
    refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen.”

    On one hand, you can understand the Eleven’s unbelief with the others’ testimony of seeing Jesus
    (whom they saw die right in front of them) alive. [Fact of life: When one is dead, he stays dead.]

    On the other hand, this is Jesus. And seeing the dead be raised to life is not new to them. They’re the
    Eleven, they saw Jesus raise Lazarus back to life! And besides, Jesus told them that He will rise again,
    didn’t’ he?

    So the lesson here is: Don’t doubt Jesus. What He says, it will happen. And don’t forget what
    you’ve witnessed, what God did for you in the past – the miracles, the answered prayers. Just as He
    saw you through back then, He will do the same today. No matter how impossible or how
    inconceivable the answer is, JUST BELIEVE! Don’t be stubborn.
