As Trustworthy as God

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.” (John 14:1)

We often hear this passage of scripture read at funerals. It is very comforting and consoling in times of bereavement. However, these verses are appropriate any time.

Jesus spoke these words to His disciples on the evening before His crucifixion the next morning. They had heard Him speak of His death. They were troubled at His announcement that one of them would betray Him. They even questioned,“Master, is it I?”(Matt. 26:22)

When He said, “Ye believe in God, believe also in me,” He was reminding them that He was God in the flesh. (John 1:14)  He was verifying that He and the Father are one. (John 10:30)  God was totally trustworthy and so was He. Through His crucifixion, resurrection, post resurrection appearances and even through His ascension He was reassuring His disciples of His total trustworthiness.

Are you going through a difficult time?  We worship with fellow believers today and have been doing so for centuries because His followers believe He is trustworthy. You can trust Him completely.
