A Sign

"Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good." Isaiah 7: 14-15

This scripture is part of the Old Testament prophecy that tells of Jesus' coming. So many people in the world are wanting God to give them a sign that He is real. They want God to show them something so they can put full faith in the Lord. The funny thing is that God has already done that. God gave these signs to watch for through the prophets. Then God delivered on what He had promised and the sign was made evident to all through the birth of Jesus Christ.

Here is the dilemma--- there were people who knew the prophecy of Jesus Christ before His birth, and when the prophecy of Christ's birth was fulfilled, they still didn't believe! God gave them a direct sign, and it wasn't enough for them to believe.

Shocking, I know. However, how are modern day doubters any different from Bible-time doubters? (They're not!) If God sent some miraculous sign of His existence and His Son today, wouldn't there still be people who would doubt the sign?

God made us. He knows us. He knows that our human nature needs proof to trust. God's already given us all the proof we need. If you have been doubting and resisting the writing God has put on the wall, today is the day to trust and believe. Don't take my word for it, take God's Word for it.
