Let us learn from the unbelief of the apostles, a useful practical lesson for ourselves. Let us cease to feel sur- prise when we feel doubts arising in our own heart. Let us cease to expect perfection of faith in other believers. We are yet in the body. We are men of like passions with the apostles. We must count it no strange thing, if our experience is sometimes like their's, and if our faith, like their's, sometimes gives way. Let us resist unbelief manfully. Let us watch, and pray, and strive to be delivered from its power. But let us not conclude that we have no grace, because we are sometimes harassed with doubts, nor suppose that we have no part or lot with the apostles, because at seasons we feel unbelieving.
Let us not fail to ask ourselves, as we leave this pas- sage, whether we have risen with Christ, and been made partakers spiritually of His resurrection. This, after all, is the one thing needful. To know the facts of Chris- tianity with the head, and to be able to argue for them with the tongue, will not save our souls. We must yield ourselves to Grod as those alive from the dead. (Kom. vi. 13.) We must be raised from the death of sin, and walk in newness of life. This and this only is saving Christianity.
