MIRACLES

The Annunciation of MaryThe definition of a miracle, per webster’s dictionary:

“An extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs.   An extremely outstanding or unusual event, thing or accomplishement.”   In the Bible, the origin of miracles, and the occurrance of them is so frequent that I would take pages to list all of the ‘miracles’ begotten by God or His Son Jesus.   For  they are present in the ‘Old Testament and the ‘New Testament’.   Still, they are present today.   Yet, we hear so little of the marvelous works of Our God.   If Jesus stood before us today, would they believe or  scoff at Him?   I would expect they would probably ‘stone him’!   The unbelievers are more vocal than the believers; it would seem.   Even, back in the days of Jesus.  5000 came to listen, and were given food to eat.   He took 5 loaves and 2 fish, and fed them all with twelve baskets left over.  

Later:   Jesus fed 4000.   At that time he had 7 loaves and a 3 small fish,(few).   He fed all 4000, and had 7  hampers full.

Yet, after all that they crucified Him!   Why is it when one is so loving it is the nature of people to take advantage, ridecule, and patronize.  Yet, they betrayed Him.  After Jesus loved them through the anguish of their days of trial and torment, He stood alone and abandoned.   Have you been one of the few that have stood with Jesus or are you one of the many who have abandoned Him?  Consider yourself abandoned!  It hurts, and the tears flow!  You will never find a man or woman to stand next to you.  All will betray you in your trials except for Jesus and Mary.   For she was with Her Son through it all. 

Today, Jesus is still at work in His followers.  His devoted friends.  Who are they?   They are those that call upon the name of Jesus Christ to be saved, and do not drop the ball under persecution.   Persecution is all part of friendship!  His is the truest friendship there is.  Yet few care to embrace this light of love and friendship.   Just as back then, people are betraying Him. Today, the voices of the believers are expected to be silenced.   Some take their crosses down, when a little chastisment occurs.   Some deny Him when asked, Just as Peter denyed Him three times before the cock crowed, just as Jesus said He would.   Only Christ  can make each one of us ‘strong’.

One of the many verses in the Bible is: ‘I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me.’  Philipians 4:13  So, when Jesus comes to you when you call His name, will you remember Him when He needs you?
