What Jesus Did

WHAT JESUS DID!


Responding to Faith


While Jesus was saying these things, a leader of the
synagogue came to him. The leader bowed down before Jesus and
said, "My daughter has just died. But come and touch her with
your hand, and she will live again." So Jesus stood up and
went with the leader. Jesus' followers went too.

-- Matthew 9:18-19 (ERV)


KEY THOUGHT:
True power meets true faith as Jesus and this leader of a synagogue
meet each other. This important man shows no pretentiousness in the
presence of Jesus. He bows to honor and worship him and make a request
that was unthinkable. But even though his request was unimaginable, he
pursued it with the eyes of faith. In the presence of such faith, Jesus
is more than happy to help just as unpretentiously as the synagogue
ruler was in asking for it.


TODAY'S PRAYER:
Give me a heart of faith, O God, that not only helps me see the unseen
and believe the unimaginable, but also brings a blessing to you. I want
to dream what is incredible knowing that you will do things much
greater than I can even imagine. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
