>The first to come was “the Doubter.”
“It is impossible for me to believe that Jesus was more than the best man who ever lived.”
“But you believe that God is God, then?”
“Yes, I have never doubted that.”
“And you believe all He has said, as it is recorded in the Bible?”
“Yes, of course, I have no difficulties there.”
A Bible was handed to him. He read the mighty words in Luke 3:21,22 and Matt, 17:5 himself. “Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased,” and “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.” He sat dumb and restless for a long time. Suddenly the miracle happened. The Spirit made the word live to Him, it was visible in his face. He sat with his eyes closed for a long time. Someone knocked at the door.
“Don’t let anyone come in and disturb me,” he said, “I am sitting here in the presence of my heavenly Father.”
