All of us experience blasphemous thoughts about God. But where do these thoughts come from? And how do we respond?
All of us experience it: blasphemous thoughts about God emerge in our minds. So where do these thoughts come from? And how do we respond? The question comes in from a listener named Hayden.
“Dear Pastor John, for seven long years, I’ve had hard thoughts of Christ. There have been good seasons in which I have been overwhelmed with the beauty and grace of Christ, and there have been indescribably painful seasons where he seems so disappointed with me that I have been driven well nigh to despair. Often I fear that I am the wicked servant who said of the master, ‘I was afraid, because I knew you were a hard man’ (Luke 19:21). Then I fear that I am not saved at all because I don’t perceive Jesus correctly.
“I want to treasure Christ above all, but I often fear that I don’t, because these thoughts harass me. I have confessed all known sin in my life, and I have cried out to God repeatedly. What is wrong with me? How should I approach this situation biblically? What are specific Scripture passages that you would direct me to when the hard thoughts about Christ arrive?”
