If Jesus were to speak to me face-to-face about my faith in Him and my sensitivity to Him, would I hear approval or rebuke?

“Afterward he appeared unto the eleven…and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart” (Mark 16:14).

I need more faith. I need more sensitivity to Him. I want my life to show both.

It also strikes me this morning that Jesus got after the eleven (on this occasion, anyway), not for doubting that He would rise again, but for not believing the witness of others. Notice the conclusion of the above verse:

“Because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.”

I must have His approval.
