"The Titan"

I woke up this morning thinking about the novel, "The Titan". It was a book written about a ship that crashed into an iceberg and sunk. Sound familiar? The difference between this ship and the Titanic is fourteen years in the writing! The Titan was written in 1898 and the Titanic sunk on April 14, 1912. When I heard this in a sermon last night I began to think about why we try so hard to believe the truth about Christ.

We tend to think in terms of what we can see, but when I told you about the Titan you had no doubts that I was telling you the truth. We cannot see Jesus or touch Him with our hands, He must be taken on faith. Were you there when the Titanic sank? How do you know there was a ship called the Titanic? We know because it was written down in history. The Bible was also written down by men who were led by the Holy Spirit. Why is it so hard for us to believe Jesus Christ come down from heaven, became flesh, and died for our sins? 

When it comes to Jesus though we have devils to fight! They fight our thinking day and night! They do not want us to have faith in Christ. They hate it when they see us pray to Christ!  Ephesians 6:12 "12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places".
