I Believe! Help My Unbelief!

I Believe! Help My Unbelief!

“Lord, I believe! Help my unbelief!” the father in Mark 9:14-29 confessed to Jesus. That confession should also be on our lips every day of our lives as baptized children of God–we should confess our sinfulness, and we should confess our faith. But confession is not something we are able to do on our own, without the Lord first giving us His Holy Spirit. The Word of God is the only thing that can enable us to confess our sin or faith. His Word of Law reveals our sin and unbelief, and His Gospel delivers forgiveness of sins, which creates faith and moves us to ask the Lord to get rid of the sin and unbelief that remain in us. The Lord speaks first, and only then can we respond with a correct confession at all. This is what happens in Mark 9. The father of the demon-possessed boy did not realize his unbelief until Jesus rebuked him, but after Jesus spoke, then the man was able to confess: “Lord, I do believe! Help my unbelief.” 10/04/2023 12:00 AM

Freedom from anxiety

Freedom from anxiety

There are two ways of dealing with anxiety in life. Either we can try to eliminate worries by our own efforts, or let Jesus take our anxieties from us. The Jesus answer to worry is found in Matthew 6:24-34. It is tempting to make this text into just another practical program for reducing worry in our lives, but the Jesus approach is far more radical. Against all the momentary fixes that you apply to your problems in this life with practical advice and self-help philosophies, Jesus comes to you with the all-encompassing solution to all of your worries: He presents Himself. The One speaking in Matthew 6 is the one who has fulfilled all of the words of that same text. He wipes out any grounds for you to worry at all by pointing you to Himself as your Savior and by bestowing His eternal life-giving righteousness upon you. 09/26/2023 11:00 PM
