From Peace with God by Billy Graham:
I heard about a man some years ago who was rolling a wheelbarrow back
and forth across Niagara River on a tightrope.
Thousands of people were shouting him on. He put a two-hundred pound sack of dirt in
the wheelbarrow and rolled it over, and then he rolled it back. Then he turned to the crowd and said, “How
many of you believe I can roll a man across?”
Everybody shouted! One man in
the front was very excited about his professed belief. The man pointed to this excited professor and
said, “You’re next!”
You couldn’t see the man for dust!...he said he believed it, he thought he believed it-but he was not willing
to get in the wheelbarrow.
Just so with Christ! There are
many people who say they believe on Him, who say they will follow Him. But they never have gotten into the
wheelbarrow…
There are many people who ask, “Well, how much faith does it
take?” Jesus said only the faith as
small as “a grain of mustard seed.”
Others ask, “What kind of faith?” …
There is only one kind, really.
It is the object of the faith that counts. What is the object of your faith? The object of your faith must be Christ. Not faith in ritual, not faith in sacrifices,
not faith in morals, not faith in yourself – not faith I anything but Christ!
The storm came upon the disciples
because they obeyed, unlike Jonah who disobeyed! I love ACTION/ADVENTURE movies, how about
you! Are you ready to live one out, but
have the peace of the sleeping Jesus?
