“Very often it is easy to summon
confidence in the Lord when something happens in your life to remind
you. When some event gives you evidence He exists. For that moment
you briefly feel close to Him. But as soon as the cares and troubles
of this world interfere, the moment passes, and you begin wondering,
"Is it all true? Am I just believing a myth?"
Jesus Christ came into the world
unexpected, unannounced by man, unanticipated by His generation, but
expected and announced by heaven. There were signs in heaven, but men
were largely oblivious. When the shepherds keeping watch over the
flocks by night were interrupted, it was not by an earthly herald.
There was none among men. It was from beyond the veil. The Savior
crept into the world with heaven noticing, but precious few of us
paying attention to what was afoot.
It is so easy to overlook Him because
of the cares of the world. I want to assure you He is real. He
exists. He was a man, every bit of man as any of us. He had flesh, He
had blood, He dwelt among us. Don't doubt that. Trust in Him, believe
in Him, have confidence in His existence.” (Lecture 7 - Christ: The Prototype of the Saved Man, page 1)
