Jesus and the Declaring Devils: Fanfare Foments Furor not Faith
If the people of Capernaum refused to believe Jesus when He identified Himself as the Messiah, do you think they would have believed it if the devils declared it?? Certainly not, it would just have been a bigger spectacle. Likewise, anyone who refuses to accept Jesus as Saviour now, will reject Him even if demons jumped up and declared him to be the Son of God.
People are More Precious than Protocol
God loves us every day, and every moment of every day. He wants us to come to Him with our burdens and troubles, to commune, to fellowship, to talk with Him every day, and every moment of every day.
Healed for Saviour-Service, not Self-Service
It is easy for us to fall into a rut where we see God as ‘Mr. Fix-It’; where we call on Him to remove problems from our lives so that we can accomplish the goals we had set for ourselves. Rather, we should call on God to remove problems from our lives so that we can accomplish the goals He has set for us.
The Man with the Palsy | Salvation vs. Miracles: How do you see Jesus?
How do we see Jesus? Is Jesus our Saviour onto eternal life in fellowship with God? Or, Is Jesus a tool to fix problems in this life? When faced with life’s problems what do we want from Jesus? Do we want exercise our faith or ease our flesh? Do we want His “strength to be made perfect” in our “weakness”?
The Man with the Palsy | Spiritual vs. Physical: How do you see yourself?
Our physical state (healthy or sick, rich or poor, thin or fat, red or yellow) neither qualifies nor disqualifies us for entrance into the Kingdom of God: the ONLY thing that matters is our Spiritual state: whether our sins have been forgiven. If God forgives your sin, then you are in.
Miracles of Jesus: The Blind Man from Bethsaida
Only as transformation (i.e., sanctification) takes place can we start to prove (know with certainty) the will of God. Without transformation/sanctification we cannot know God’s will. And so we stumble, taking uncertain steps in life: never quite sure what we are about, or what to do or where to go and how to get there. We have the Light but not the Sight.
Miracles of Jesus: The Ten Lepers: “It takes more faith to give your life to Jesus than to receive healing”
When Jesus is our Master, we focus on how we can glorify Him, not on how He can satisfy us.
Miracles of Jesus: The Nobleman’s Son… Faith produces Miracles, but Miracles don’t produce Faith!
In the Kingdom of God, believing is seeing!!! To find God, to prove Him, we must first step out in faith. Miracles grow the faith of the faithful.
Miracles of Jesus: The Ten Lepers… “It takes more faith to give our lives to Jesus than to receive healing.”
When Jesus is our Master, we focus on how we can GLORIFY Him, not on how He can SATISFY us.
