Will all of us experience it?

Blasphemous thoughts about God emerging our minds.

So where do these thoughts come from?

And how do we respond?

The question comes in from a listener named Hayden, through Pastor John, for seven long

years.

I've had hard thoughts of Christ.

There have been good seasons in which I have been overwhelmed with the beauty and grace

of Christ, and there have been indescribably painful seasons.

Nobody seems so disappointed with me that I have been driven well-nigh to despair.

Often I fear that I am the wicked servant who set up the master.

I was afraid because I knew you were a hard man, Luke 1921.

Then I fear that I'm not saved at all because I don't perceive Jesus correctly.

I want a treasure Christ above all, but I often fear that I don't, because these thoughts

harass me.

I have confessed all known sin in my life, and I've cried out to God repeatedly.

What is wrong with me?

How should I approach this situation biblically?

What are some specific scripture passages that you would direct me to when these hard thoughts

about Christ arise in my mind?

Hayden says, there are thoughts that harass me, and specifically thoughts that Christ is

a hard master, hard thoughts about Christ.
