Proving yourself

Confidence in God.

Pastor preached such a powerful message this weekend.

Wow...

Being really confident in God is really not proving who we are in God, but knowing who we are.

"If You are the Son of God, turn this stone into bread."

"If You are the Son of God, jump down and see if the angels will catch You."

"If You are the Son of God, show the world the glory of Your possessions and kingdoms."

As I read the Bible last night, even till the point of death on the cross, the devil and religious continued to tempt Jesus to prove Himself.

"Mt 27:40;42:

the passer-by begin to mock Jesus. 'If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.

The chief priest begin to mock Jesus too: " If He is the King of Israel, let Him come down from the cross and we will believe Him."

But Jesus remained on the cross. Is He not the messiah? Is He not the One?

He did not prove Himself.

But look at what happened...

In verse 54 after Jesus died on the Cross and the veil in the temple split into two. There was this great and big earthquake. The centurion and those who were guarding Jesus was greatly afraid and begin to say: "Truly this is the Son of God."

Wow... How powerful this confidence is. When we don't try to prove ourselves, God Himself will prove us. God will confirm us with signs and wonders. =) 

What a cool God.
