You have doubts sometimes, right? You wonder if all this Jesus stuff is for real, and when you read the Scriptures you sometimes get confused and wonder if it’s a book that can be trusted, right? Sometimes you just don’t know if you’re really saved, right? I mean, come on... we’ve all had doubts like that. There are times when even the strongest, most veteran missionary on the front lines wonders if he can really entrust his heart to this One we call on. We all struggle with doubt from time to time. The only people who just cruise right on through this life, with no doubts whatsoever are people who either live in a bubble with no real problems or else they are just the world’s biggest liars and phonies. Here’s the thing: when you have doubts, the Enemy jumps in your face and says, “What?! You’re doubting Jesus? You suck! You are the suckiest pile of suck that ever even thought about sucking!” And before you know it, you slink down into a depression of inactivity because you think Jesus is so disappointed in you for having doubts. Well, Satan is a lair, and he’s mean. That thing about you sucking is a big, fat lie. Scratch all that! Here’s the truth - Jesus knows you have doubts and He loves you anyway. One time a guy named John was in prison and he started to have some doubts, so he sent some guys to question Jesus, saying, “Are you really the One?” Jesus didn’t throw His hands up in disappointment and declare that John sucked! In fact, He said, “There’s never been anyone as cool as John, ever.” That’s the way Jesus sees you - even in your doubts.
