… so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught. — Luke 1:4
One night I watched part of a show on network television about faith. In one of the segments, a scientist hooked up electrodes to create brain activity that caused his subject to have a "spiritual experience." Some concluded from this that religion was nothing more than brain chemistry. Others concluded that God had "wired" our brains to respond to Him.
We must understand that God would have no difficulty proving His existence or anything else about Himself to anybody anytime He wants. There are no atheists among the demons (James 2:19). But He chooses to leave us in a world where we must taste and see that the Lord is good (Psalm 34:8).
In our passage for today, Luke wanted us to be certain. The certainty that His gospel brings to us won’t answer all our questions. But it will give us the taste we need to know that God is good.
Be encouraged!
