"Jesus answered and said to them, 'Go and report to John what you hear and see: the blind receive sight and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he who does not take offense at Me.'" -Matthew 11:4-6 (NASB)
Sometimes we pray and wait for miracles. Sometimes we wish we could just reach out and touch Jesus' clothes to be healed. While we may not be able to touch the physical being of Jesus, we can be reassured that He is with us. We can be blessed by believing in Him.
Jesus lists some of the miracles that He performed that would have meaning for John the Baptist then He offers a word of encouragement for those that believe in Him. Unlike those living in Jesus' time, we are privileged to have the whole story of the life of Jesus. When we read the Bible, we can see these and many other miracles that Jesus performed. We can also see the greatest miracle, the sacrifice of Jesus for the forgiveness of all of our sins. Because of His sacrifice and resurrection, we don't need to reach out and physically touch Jesus. He is always with us and He can still perform miracles in our lives!
Jesus performed many miracles and still bless you with miracles!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and for forgiving my sin through Your Son. Please continue to be with me and perform miracles in my life. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
