Do You Believe?

35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” 36 He answered, “And who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?” 37 Jesus said to him, “You have seen him, and it is he who is speaking to you.” 38 He said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him.

Do You Believe?
The world would cast you out. We live in the middle of a world that would cancel that and cancel this. The temptation is great to abandon our faith amid the pressure. The enemy is counting on this. He is hoping for your failure and that the pressure to sin and pleasure would crush you. Jesus has heard of the specific attacks. He knows that you are hated by the world because the world hated him. He has heard of the attack upon you, and he finds you with his Word. The Word is delivered to your heart. It is preached into your ears and into your eyes. It is washed over your head in Baptism. It is placed upon your tongue in the Sacrament. The Son of Man has gone to the cross to save you from the world. Now he gives you the spoils of his battle. You have life where the world would strip it. You have salvation. You have forgiveness and freedom in him.
