Who is This?

Who is this? What a very strange question to ask after all that they had already seen. When they saw water changed to wine, the blind seeing, and bread multiplied, they thought they knew who Jesus was. But when they were delivered from death it dawned on them that they had missed entirely on who they were sailing with.

When Jacob asked, he was not told.

When Moses asked God said , “I am!”

When the disciples asked Jesus brought them safely to the other side of the sea.

Who is this to you and me? He is the master of any storm, Alpha and Omega and the Good Shepherd who gives His life for His sheep!

Happy or Sad?

Sometimes church gets filled up with all kinds of different people who for all kinds of different reasons want tp come see Jesus. Do we feel happy or sad when we find someone else sitting in our pew? Will we go home joyful ot irritated if lots of different folks show up to worship? God so loved the world- the whole world that He gave His only Son. How will we respond when a small breeze of change begins blowing through our church? Why not check to see if our spiritual doors and windows locked? God wants to send a mighty rushing wing to fill His house. Be ready because God loves to use all kinds of people from all kinds of places to build His church!

The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the world has gone after Him!”
John 12:19 NKJV

Who we Worship

Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God and Him only you shall serve.’” Matthew 4:10 NKJV

Who we worship, and not how we worship, is what determines the destiny of our lives. Who we really worship will be revealed when we are put in the fire and tested. In the book of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego told king Nebuchadnezzar, that no matter the consequences, they would not worship His golden image. They would not obey his command because they reserved worship

for God alone. Because they dared to refuse the king’s command God walked with them in the fiery furnace and the king became a worshiper too! In the middle of my own problems and difficulties who am I worshiping today?
