There are people who look at Jesus and feel nothing but questions, questions that echo through late nights and long seasons: Is He real? Does any of this matter? Why should I believe in Someone I cannot see? Doubt can feel like a heavy fog, and for many, Jesus is little more than a distant name softened by centuries of stories.
Then there are those who say they believe… yet feel no pulse in their faith. They know the verses, they understand the doctrines, they sit in the pews, but their hearts remain strangely untouched. Jesus is a belief they agree with, not a Person they know. And that emptiness makes them wonder if they ever truly believed at all.
And finally, some don’t want to believe, not because they are stubborn, but because life has taught them to be cautious with hope. The world has disappointed them too many times. Why trust another promise? Why trust God?
But the irony of Christ interrupts all three stories.
His life was a contradiction to every expectation, God becoming human, strength expressed through humility, victory achieved through sacrifice, rejection answering with love. He did not come to impress scholars or win popularity. He came to reveal a love so persistent, so disarming, so unlike anything the world offers, that even doubters can’t help but take a second look.
This is the irony:
The One many struggle to believe in spent His entire life trying to reach the very people who question Him.
The One some follow at a distance walked every dusty mile so we could walk closely behind Him.
And the One some refuse to believe endured rejection so no one would be rejected by God.
If you’ve ever doubted Him, misunderstood Him, ignored Him, or even walked away from Him, the story of Christ is still for you. Because everything He did, He did to make one truth unmistakably clear:
God still wants you.
