John 16:31
31"You believe at last!" Jesus answered.
Jesus
was preparing the disciples for His departure. He told them they
wouldn't see Him for a little while then they would see Him. It's the
"now you see me now you don't" scenario between the time of the
crucifixion and the resurrection. The disciples didn't understand and
began to ask each other questions. When Jesus knew their thoughts
without them asking Him and began to clarify for them, they understood.
What seemed like perplexing parables to them became clear. They
confessed that He could only be from God. And it was at that point that
Jesus knew they finally believed. When you believe and Jesus begins to
speak, you will understand. No more will it sound like the teacher on
the Charlie Brown cartoon. His voice will be clear. And when you finally
know
that you can hear Jesus clearly, it's like a room that's been totally
dark and suddenly the light bulb comes on and illuminates the room. It's
bright and gives the room a new look. Jesus speaks but because of sin
and disbelief, ears cannot always hear. And just because you believe in
general doesn't mean that's in ALL things Jesus says through the Holy
Spirit. There are different levels of belief. What has Jesus told you?
Has the light bulb of belief finally come on for you? Is it clear yet?
