I’ve been reading the book of John and have been especially looking at the miracles of Christ. I’ve been rather in awe of the miraculous works that he performed while he was on the earth. I have been envisioning myself as one of those in the crowd and wondering what kind of response I would have had to these miracles, if I would have been there to see them. Some believed that Jesus was the Son of God because of these miracles, others thought he was demon possessed or one who would draw them away from the truth, and others just didn’t know what to think. God choose to reveal himself in such a clear way through Jesus. Jesus was God in the flesh, performing the works of the Father so that all men could see plainly the power and glory of God.
As one who looks at these miracles through the lens of the word of God, I am truly in awe of what Christ did. Not only that, I am also in awe of the fact that he is the same God that he was then and is capable of doing anything that he pleases. Nothing is impossible for HIM! Sometimes I forget that Jesus is just as powerful right now,as he was then, and always will be. He is able to do more than I could even think of or ask him for. I think that I tend to limit the power of God and am thankful that God is opening my eyes up to this simple truth: Nothing is impossible with God! Scripture repeats this point in various locations. For example, the angel tells Mary(Luke 1:35-37) and Sarah(Genesis 18:13-14) that nothing is impossible(or too hard) for God, when speaking in regards to the babies that were to be born in miraculous ways.
The man, who had a son with an evil spirit(Mark 9:21-24), said to Jesus, “If you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.” Jesus responds,”If you can? Everything is possible for him who believes.” To that the man said, “I do believe;help me to overcome my unbelief!” Though this man was somewhat aware of the power of Jesus and believed in Him, he did not understand the extent of the power that was in Christ. May I not limit God, his works or his power, but know and believe that he is able to do more than I can ask or think for His glory.For nothing is impossible with God!
Ephesians 3:20-21
”Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
