Misgivings Regarding Jesus

St John 4:11

Have you ever thought, "I am amazed by the profound truths in God's Word, but it seems unrealistic to incorporate them all into my life!" When we evaluate Jesus Christ based on His traits and skills, our attitudes show religious supremacy. We admire His high ideas, but we doubt their practicality and question the feasibility of His proposals. Each individual contemplates this idea regarding Jesus in some aspect of their life. Questions that shift our attention from God can lead to doubts or uncertainties about Jesus. As we discuss our interactions with Him, people inquire, "How will you acquire sufficient funds to sustain yourself?" How will you sustain yourself and who will provide for your needs? Our doubts arise when we believe that our situations are too challenging for Jesus to handle. It is often said that trusting in the Lord is simple in theory, but in practice, individuals must navigate life's challenges. Additionally, Jesus lacks the resources to provide for our needs. Avoid displaying religious deception by claiming, "I have no doubts about Jesus, only doubts about myself." Being truthful, we acknowledge that we never have uncertainties or hesitations about ourselves, since we are fully aware of our abilities and limitations. However, we do have reservations regarding Jesus. We feel a sense of wounded pride when considering that He is capable of things beyond our abilities.

I have doubts because I am trying to understand how He would fulfill His promises by looking within myself. I have misgivings that arise from my own feelings of inferiority. If I notice doubts within myself, I should acknowledge them honestly and confess them, saying, "Lord, I have had doubts about You." I have doubted Your capabilities, relying solely on my own. I have not believed in Your omnipotence save via my limited comprehension of it.
