Matthew 4:2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungered. 3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
We will now address one of the issues we will have to grapple with as those prophecies predicted in the Bible are being fulfilled. The demand for conclusive evidence is what satan was clamoring for from Jesus, and it is often the case that we will be tempted to provide conclusive evidence for what we believe. The question is: Should it be necessary for Christ to provide conclusive evidence, and is it necessary for us to also give conclusive evidence for a particular course of action God has instructed us to pursue?
One of the issues the remnant people of God would have to confront in these last days is the prospect of not being able to give a logical, satisfactory answer for the ways and means God has instructed us to employ, in dealing with the various adversities that are scheduled to overspread the world. Logic is often tailored to be the diabolical enemy of faith and whereas we are instructed to give to every man a reason for the hope that is in us, there is not any guarantee that such reasons will make sense to an unbelieving mind.
Working a miracle just to prove His Divinity in this situation would accomplish nothing, for miracles, in and of themselves do not prove anything, because turning stones into bread is something devils may be able to do, at least apparently. Thus, as a general rule of thumb, persons who may clamor for a sign before they believe would almost always need more miracles to continue believing, instead of taking the evidence of scripture as final confirmation, that’s why Jesus referred satan to “It is written.”
Psalms 119:1 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord. 2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. 3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. 4 Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
