“Now when He [the Lord Jesus] was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in His name, when they saw the miracles which He did. But Jesus did not commit Himself unto them” (John 2:23-24).
At first glance, we may feel that it was a good thing for some to believe on the Lord Jesus, when they saw the miracles which He did. But then we read that the Lord Jesus did not commit Himself unto them. Why was this?
It was because it is possible for us to believe with our heads, yet not with our hearts. These people were impressed with the Lord’s miracles, for they saw divine power in those miracles. However, they did not realize that they were sinners and needed a Savior. They did not really recognize the Lord Jesus as the Son of God. Many thought that He was only a great prophet.
In the same way there are people today who know about the Lord Jesus, and who believe that He came into this world to save us. Yet they have never really come to Him and accepted Him as their Savior. Many people celebrate Christmas and sing Christmas carols, yet do not really know the Lord Jesus. How important it is to come to Him, not only because of His power to perform miracles, but because He is ready to save us!
