FEBRUARY 17, 2026—Unbelievers Still Believe

Matthew 27:64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.

 

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    They mocked Him, spat upon Him, plucked out His beard, crucified Him with common criminals, called Him names, and treated Him with no respect. That is, they did so in the eyes of others. However, in private, the one in whom they said they did not believe still brought terror to their souls. Even in their unbelief, they believed enough to be afraid.

 

    I find people have not changed so much over the centuries. People ridicule and mock God and His church. They call them names and make fun of them. That is in public. Nevertheless, when tragedy happens, or a death in the family occurs, it is these same people who are calling on God and His church. Often, if their loved one is gone, their last error is worse than the first.  

 

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Why do unbelievers suddenly want to believe?

 

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this passage and today’s devotion?

 

Within this reading, do I find a CHALLENGE for my life?

 

What are the things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?
