Not long ago, someone in my circle said that most of what I believe about God is just brainwashing from my early years. What they don’t realize is that I’ve wrestled with faith. Deeply. I’ve asked the hard questions. And from where I stand, it’s clear: the enemy has done a masterful job of turning hearts and minds away from God.
Some of my dearest friends are Jewish. I see their pain, their history, their resilience. For thousands of years, they’ve been under siege. Many have even changed their surnames just to avoid the hatred that clings to their identity. If anyone has reason to ask, “Where is God when the world is against us?”—it’s them.
Yesterday, I watched Part 3 of The Chosen: The Last Supper. It’s the final week that Jesus walks with his closest friends. Life under Roman rule is brutal. Religious leaders are desperate to silence what they see as a false prophet before a rebellion breaks out. And even those who love Jesus are unsure of what he’s doing. He doesn’t look like the kind of Savior they expected.
If you’re a skeptic, you may be asking for proof that God even exists—let alone that He loves us. I won’t pretend to have all the answers, but I will point you toward some compelling ones. Read the accounts of exorcists—those who have seen darkness up close and heard demons confess the truth about God under the power of Christ. Or sit with The Chosen. Watch the life of Jesus unfold. Not a fairy tale. A man who changed the course of human history.
The greatest proof that God loves us? It’s Jesus—God’s own Son—who became one of us, who walked among us, and who willingly died to make a way for us to live forever with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. There is no greater love than this.
So today, on Palm Sunday, as Jesus enters Jerusalem to the shouts of Hosanna, I invite you to pause. Ponder this sacred week. Follow the One who conquered death to give you life.
Jesus is all the proof you need.
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
— John 15:13
