Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.
One of the most comforting, eye-opening, and maybe even alarming things to note in the New Testament is how much ministry in the Apostle Paul's day resembled ministry today. Humanity hasn’t changed a bit in 2,000 years.
Neither Paul’s personal encounter with the Lord, his education, his connection with the other apostles, his claim to be an apostle, his effectiveness in ministry, nor even the miracles he performed (through the power of the Holy Spirit) changed people’s perceptions.
They still wanted proof—proof that satisfied them that Christ spoke in and through him.
- They accused his “proofs” of being weak.
- They demanded proofs they considered “mighty.”
I speak to people almost daily who make the same accusations.
- They say our evidence for creation is weak.
- They say our evidence that the Bible is the Word of God is weak.
- They say our evidence of the resurrection of Christ is weak.
What they really want is proof that meets their standards of authority and might. But the truth is, no evidence we could offer would ever be acceptable to them.
I believe it was Dawkins who said he was so convinced there is no God, that if Jesus appeared and proved Himself to him personally, he would assume he was hallucinating—and dismiss even his own experience.
- Evidence for evolution goes almost unchallenged.
- Evidence for events in ancient history is accepted without question.
But when it comes to the things of the Spirit, suddenly they claim the evidence is “weak.”
I believe the reason is clear: accepting the evidence would require a radical change in worldview, a new direction in life, and a confrontation with eternal consequences.
It’s too bad they feel this way—
Because God has provided a way of escape from those eternal consequences.
If they would only accept the “proof” of Christ,
They would quickly see—
He is the solution to the very consequences they fear so much.
