THE UNBELIEF OF THE APOSTLES
By: doug Date: November 12, 2025, 11:27 am
---------------------------------------------------------
[MARK 16:14-16 KJV] 14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as
they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and
hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen
him after he was risen. 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all
the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that
believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth
not shall be damned.
A few things to unpack here.
The gospel they were told to go into the world was the gospel of
the kingdom. Jesus preached the kingdom was at
hand............[MATTHEW 4:17 KJV] 17 From that time Jesus began
to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at
hand.
[MATTHEW 4:23 KJV] 23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching
in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom,
and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease
among the people........the kingdom was the prophetic Davidic
kingdom on earth, in which believing Israel will reign with
Christ for a thousand years. To enter the kingdom Israel had to
believe this gospel and be water baptized.
The apostles didn't believe those who saw the risen Lord in
spite of Jesus telling them he would rise
again............[MATTHEW 20:18-19 KJV] 18 Behold, we go up to
Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief
priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to
death, 19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to
scourge, and to crucify [him]: and the third day he shall rise
again............Many say the apostles were preaching the cross
for salvation. The preaching of the cross includes the
resurrection. The twelve didn't understand any of what Christ
told them of his death and resurrection............[LUKE
18:32-34 KJV] 32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles,
and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
33 And they shall scourge [him], and put him to death: and the
third day he shall rise again. 34 And they understood none of
these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew
they the things which were spoken.............If they didn't
understand his resurrection, and didn't believe the report of
those who saw the risen Lord, how could they have preached the
resurrection?
We need to take heed to the unbelief of the apostles who didn't
believe those who saw the risen Lord. Paul also saw the risen
Lord............[ACTS 23:11 KJV] 11 And the night following the
Lord stoodby him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou
hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness
also at Rome.
[1CORINTHIANS 9:1 KJV] 1 Am I not an apostle? am I not free?
have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the
Lord?.............many don't believe Paul, who saw the risen
Lord, just as the apostles didn't believe those who saw him.
