And when you think about your belief in Jesus, you recognize that it's not just a one-time moment of belief, but a lifelong movement of belief.
And what you need is the necessary beauty and power of belief to keep going in the journey of faith.
Yes, you still need to believe in Jesus, but you also need to believe him, to trust him more and more, to trust him with your sin, your suffering, your shame, and trust him with the future of your story.
No matter where you are in your curiosity about Jesus or your relationship with Jesus, the issue of belief is never a static decision but a dynamic surrender, believing in and believing our Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer.
Belief is so foundational and yet we experience so many barriers to a deepening belief in Jesus.
There are the barriers that pop up in the decision to follow him for the first time and barriers that rise to the surface as we try to follow him one day at a time.
It can even feel like you're deep in the darkness of disbelief with no apparent way out.
What do we do with those barriers?
How do we deal with the darkness of disbelief?
Our text today helps us consider these questions as we see people struggling to believe in Jesus as their saving king.
This text will plumb the depths of our belief problem, but at the same time, it will also magnify the majesty of our hope.
As we approach God's word together, let's pause and ask for his grace to move through our time.
Heavenly Father, we do thank you for the gift of life and breath.
We thank you for the gift of your word.
We bring before you every part of our lives, our joys and our sorrows, our anxiety and our excitement, our calendars and our contingencies.
Meet us in this space.
Jesus, help us abide in you as we engage with your truth.
And Holy Spirit, we ask you to move in and through this time in John's gospel account.
As we read your living word, may it read us and restore us to new life with you.
In Jesus' name, amen.
