Even after Jesus had done all these miraculous signs in their presence, they still would not believe in him.
- John 12:37
Yooo, ain't THAT da truth! Our homeboy J laid the SMACK down with miracles son! I mean yo, it was CRAZY! And despite it all, people STILL did not believe in him. Does that make sense? If you are brought face to face with a miracle, how can you then deny the belief in the one who did that miracle? .... over and over and over again and again and again? I'm sure some of you can relate ;-D Maybe not on the performing miracles part, but in doing something so awesome and yet remain doubters and haterz. What is this passage trying to tell us? Potnas... it ain't the miracles that will cause one to believe. Naw low, a person must make the choice to believe.
It's about choice! Anyone can have an emotional event. Yo, anyone can witness some stupendous show. Potnas, anyone can go on a retreat and get so amped up that he or she is ready to take on the world full throttle. But these are just events.... as quickly as these events can come and elicit a powerful emotional response, so also can that euphoria quickly vanish. It's not the sticking point potnas! Naw low, what sticks is an individuals decision to believe! That has to come from within. It reflects a transformation of the heart. Why? Cuz believing ain't no walk in the park. It ain't easy! There will be endless challenges and there will be days where you just want to quit! But you wont ;-D Cuz your decision was not based on some fleeting spectacle, but on the foundation of a bonafide relationship with the one true God!
Much like love is not just a feeling, so is belief. Just as it becomes downright hard to love someone, it will downright at times be hard to believe. But if your love is da real deal, it will last and it will lay the SMACK down on any trial trying to pull a fast one. And so it is with your belief. If your belief is the real deal, you will have victory. Cuz, yo, Pops ain't gonna leave ya! Heh heh, nothin' can take down Pops. You can take that one to the bank! The only thing inhibiting you is your choice. Choose to believe.
