Mother's Journal Gems

Luke 24:52~"They worshiped Him and went back to Jerusalem with great joy."-I always wonder about that. Jesus just left them for good physically. Somehow, He was able to portray His going as a reason for joy. For one thing, they had no more doubts as to who He was.

Dear John the Baptist~What an awful experience being in jail must have been! How severely your faith must have been tried! You saw the Spirit come down from heaven like a dove and remain on Him (John 1:32) and you said, I testify that He is the Son of God (vs. 34). But later in the prison, you wondered if He really was the one sent from Heaven. Yesterdays experience and belief is not enough. We must have a present, daily faith.
