Later, as the eleven were at table, he appeared to them and rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart because they had not believed those who saw him after he had been raised.- Mark 16:14
Jesus rebuked them for not believe those who saw Him. He didn't rebuke them for not believe Him. He rebuked them for not believing those who saw Him. How often do I doubt those who Jesus sends my way? There have been so many times when Jesus sends faithful witnesses my way. They share with me what they have seen. They share their faith and encounter with the Risen Lord, yet I doubt. I doubt their stories, I doubt their challenges, I doubt their experiences.
Jesus, rebuke me. Rebuke me for my unbelief and my hardness of heart.
Rebuke me for the many times I've been challenged to pray more and I don't.
Rebuke me for the times I've been told to slow down and allow God to work in my life and I don't.
Rebuke me for the times I'm challenged to pray until she's healed and I don't.
Rebuke me for the times I'm told to unite my sufferings with yours and I don't
Rebuke me for times I'm told to believe good news and I don't.
Rebuke me for the times I'm encouraged to share my faith and I don't.
Jesus, forgive us for not believing those who have encountered you. Forgive us for our unbelief and hardness of heart.
