Christ Is Enough

(Mark 8:22-26) Today we learn about the only miracle Christ performed gradually. We will be reminded that when we are “in the process,” and we don’t know exactly what God is doing, and things are not clear, we can take heart! The Lord knows what He’s doing, and it will be beautiful in His time! Have patience and just let Him work. (06044220221) 

(Mark  8:1-9) We’re reminded from the story of Jesus feeding 4,000, that when Christ does his miraculous work, it’s always a complete work. He doesn’t just want you to have enough to eek by, to endure life. No! He gives you enough to enjoy the journey. He gives more than you can imagine. There are many needs, but Christ is enough to meet them all. (06042220218) 

(Mark  7:31-37) After healing the man in this story, multitudes of people were astonished and exclaimed that “He doeth all things well.” “Well” is the same word as beautiful. Indeed Jesus continues to do beautiful work in the lives of individuals who will receive His tender touch. (06041220217) 

(Matthew 15:21-28) A desperate woman came to Jesus seeking help for her daughter. Surprisingly, after she asked for help, Jesus “answered her not a word.” However, in her desperation she exhibited greater faith than many of the mature disciples, and Jesus met her need – like He always does!

(Matthew 14:22-33) “Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.” The disciples were right where Jesus had sent them – in the middle of a storm. But these words of Jesus assured them, as they assure us today, that the One who sent you into the storm has not forgotten you and will not forsake you.  (06039220215) 

(John  6:5-14) God doesn’t ask for what you don’t have. He simply asks  for what He’s already given you. When you’re willing to put it in His hands, He multiplies it! We see this truth demonstrated when Jesus uses one boy’s small lunch to feed more than 5,000 people. What’s in your hand that you can release to Christ? (06038220214) 

(Matthew 10:1) The greatest miracle is what Christ does in our lives! He uses normal people. He shares His supernatural power. He allows us to participate in His great work. Yes! Miracles continue all around us because Christ is enough!  (06036220211) 

(Matthew 9:32-35) The mute man’s physical problem was rooted in a spiritual problem. When Christ cast out the devil, the man was able to speak! The multitude who witnessed it worshipped Jesus. The Pharisees who witnessed it criticized Jesus. Same miracle. Same message. Some believed and some rejected. What could Christ do in your life if you believed He is enough? (06035220210) 

(Matthew 9:27-31) Two blind men came to Jesus for healing. After they opened their hearts to Him, Jesus opened their eyes!  In turn they opened their mouths to spread the fame of Jesus.   Would to God that all of us would open our hearts to Jesus and open our mouths to make Him famous!

(Mark 5:22-24, 35-43) When Jesus raised Jairus’ daughter from the dead, we see His ultimate power over death. His great power comes at the point of desperation and can even conquer emotion. Sometimes the hardest thing we must do is choose to reject our feelings and exercise our faith. Do you believe God is able? (06033220208)
