Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost

What Makes Christians Different? Christians answer doubt with faith

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Wherever faith clings to the promises of God, doubt still lingers. Doubt asks the serpent’s garden question, “Did God really say?” We might doubt God’s care, God’s promises, or God’s providence.

The answer to doubt is not found in loud, dramatic demonstrations. The real answer to doubt is found in the still small voice of our Savior God whispering to us in his Word. Through Word and sacrament, Christ reaches out to us with nail-scarred hands, proof of his great love. He joins us to his resurrection victory. Finally he will usher us from the darkness and doubt of this life into the light and clear vision of eternity with him.
