Daily Devotions with William Barclay
365 Meditations on the Heart of the New Testament
The Searcher of Human Hearts
Scripture: John 2:23-25
Reflection:
Read John 2
Why does it take a miracle or miraculous signs before people believe?
If people can only believe in signs and not prophetic words then how can they practice self-denial?
How can Jesus trust those following him when the human heart is fickle, unstable and emotional?
Did some people follow Jesus just because he was the newest teacher in town? Did some follow because they really understood his message and was preparing to follow to the end?
Prayer: God of glory, we ask you not to show us miraculous signs, but touch our hearts with your words. Let us not be followers of what you can do but trust us to be vessels to follow you because we believe in your words. Amen.
