A new believer was on a plane with an intellectual, which someone defined as a man educated beyond his intelligence. He sneered at her for reading the Bible. He asked if she believed it.
“Yes,” she answered.
He pressed on, “Jonah and the whale story?”
“Yes,” she replied.
“How did it happen?” he queried.
“Don’t know, but I’ll find out when I get to heaven.”
“What if Jonah isn’t there?” he continued.
“Then I guess you’ll have to ask him for me.”
Do I know how the universe was created? I believe the Biblical account, but I wasn’t there. Do I believe in the account of Jonah and the great fish? I believe the Biblical account, but I wasn’t there. Do I believe Jesus rose from the dead after three days? I believe the Biblical account, but I wasn’t there. Someday, my belief will be rewarded before the whole universe.
Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love Him.
Give it some consideration.
