Signs and wonders won’t help you believe

Morning: Psalms 41, 52; Genesis 14:1-24; Hebrews 8:1-13
Evening: Psalm 44; John 4:43-54

Is there a power in the universe greater than human power?  The people want Jesus to prove he has such power.  He resists: “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”  Even natural wonders - the beauty of nature, the Love in your own heart, the immensity of the universe … they cannot say what created them. There are a million wonders that are beyond our understanding. Faith does not try to prove them; if it could, it would cease being faith … Faith is content to trust that an unprovable mystery lies at the heart of Creation.
