New Testament 8-12

By reading Matthew chapters 8-12, it is obvious to me and should have been obvious to the Jews that 
Jesus had power and AUTHORITY from God!  

He healed a leper, a centurion's son and Peter's mother-in-law.  He cast out many devils and calmed a storm.  
He healed a paralytic and a woman with an issue of blood, 
and He raised a ruler's daughter from the dead!

Is there any question? Jesus Christ is the Son of God!  I know that to be true.  I have had my own witness.  I know that He suffered great pain as he atoned for my sins and the sins of the world!  

I believe that at the time of His greatest suffering we all stood silent in Heaven watching and praying for HIM to be able to accomplish the Atonement and Resurrection!  

That selfless act of pure love for us was the most important thing that has ever happened on the Earth...ever!  

Oh, how we should reverence His name and obey His commandments!  Oh how I would wish each of us could treasure the scriptures that tell of His life and teachings!  Oh how I wish we could get the whole world to stop for a few moments to listen to a wonderful message that tells how He has opened the heavens to restore His gospel back to the Earth, with the same Priesthood and authority he gave to his 12 Apostles!  

Once we have been presented with evidences of Christ's divinity, we cannot remain neutral in our attitudes and actions toward Him.  Being a disciple of Jesus Christ requires our committed devotion!

  1. I had never thought that I had prayed FOR Jesus! That is a powerful , humbling thing to consider.....! Our prayer helped Him as he so often does for us!
