What do we expect from encounters with God?
In Matthew 28, the angels who appear to the women at the tomb say, “Do not be afraid.”
After the women see the empty tomb, Matthew says they hurried away “in a mixture of terror and great delight.”
When the risen Jesus greets the women they fall at His feet and He says to them, “Do not be afraid.”
Finally, when the disciples meet the risen Jesus on the mountain in Galilee, some worship Him “while others doubted.”
The ministry of deliverance is the power of God, nevertheless, it freaks many of us out. And while we say to God “show me a miracle,” we still doubt what takes place before our eyes and it frightens us. We say things like “God would never work that way...”
Is it possible that our expectations of God are deliberately inconsistent? Do we want God to prove Himself to us? Or are we glad to find controversy in every piece of evidence because we are too scared to believe?
