1 January 2023 - ENCS

Pastor Josh started a series “Miracles” in church today
The aim of miracles is to let God be known, he did say
It is very challenging when unanswered go our prayers
Per Second Corinthians five, have faith for God cares

John wrote about Jesus’ miracles so we would believe
Per chapter five, healing a sick man could not achieve
An angel would appear when the pool water was stirred
But the man’s pleas to get into the water went unheard

Jesus then asked the man if he wanted to be made well
This actually related to the man’s identity, Josh did tell
Our challenges can be physical, emotional, or mental
Not following and believing in Jesus is quite detrimental

Sans explanation, Jesus told the man to arise and walk
The man was cured and walked away without more talk
Jesus said to take his mat, thus getting rid of the past
But then by the Jewish leaders the man was harassed

The Jewish leaders were wrongly focused on traditions
Jesus tried to rid them of their external-focused positions
The healed man did not know Jesus, let alone wax lyrical
We should be focused on the miracle man, not the miracle

All things are possible for one who believes, per Mark nine
We should pray for help with our unbelief from God divine
This is a passage that we should remember all life long
For where we are weak, the Lord God can make us strong
