Reflections
There is no doubt, we serve a miracle working God and HE is still in the business of working miracles. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. This to me is the beginning of God's miraculous and supernatural abilities.
Jesus affirmed in John 11:42 that HE is truly sent of God. Jesus had enough faith to move mountains, heal the sick and do what no one had ever done: raise the dead. The Bible tells us that Lazarus was dead for four days (John 11:39), clinically and biologically, Lazarus was dead. However, Jesus rose Him from the dead. This beats my imagination and intellectual abilities.
God is still in the business of working miracles, moving mountains, healing the sick, raising the dead. God still move stones, He continues to calm turbulent winds and open blind eyes. He does all these and much more. Let us as believers know that we are truly blessed to know and serve such a wonderful God.
Jesus, She son of God raised Lazarus from the dead, He also raised a dead girl from the dead in the book of Mathew 9:25 and a widow's son in Luke 7:15.
Faith is the doorway to receiving miracles we desire from God. There is nothing too hard/impossible for God to do. God has been in the business of working miracles before I was born. My great grandmother, grandparents and parents testified to the miraculous power of God as witnessed by them in their lifetime. I have witnessed some myself and I am very much delighted to pass it on to the next generation that our God reigns and HE still work miracles.
Miracles like "Lazarus, come out!" (John 11:43), "Tabitha rise !" (Acts 9:40), "Unwrap him and let him go!" (John 11:44) all sounds like our God: A mighty Fortress, a Refuge, an Anchor that holds in the storm of life. It definitely takes a supernatural God to do the impossible. God is still in the business of raising the dead. Let us have faith in Him!
Discussion Questions
1. Why did Jesus not visit Lazarus immediately Mary and Martha sent a message to Him about Lazarus' illness before his death?2. Has anyone witnessed or heard of miracles like raising the dead, healing the sick lately?
3. Do you believe miracles are a thing of old or does God still work miracles today?
4. Do you have any miracles to share with us?
