“For my eyes have seen Your Salvation.” (Luke 2:30 AMP) God had revealed to Simeon, a man whom Scripture describes as “righteous and devout…[who was] looking for the Consolation of Israel; and the Holy Spirit was upon him…that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed)” (Luke 2:25-26).ContinueContinue reading “Behold His Salvation”

Saving the Best for Last
When the host tasted the water that had become wine (he didn’t know what had just happened but the servants, of course, knew), he called out to the bridegroom, “Everybody I know begins with their finest wines and after the guests have had their fill brings in the cheap stuff. But you’ve saved the bestContinueContinue reading “Saving the Best for Last”
Give It Up
Later, Jesus met the man in the temple and told him, “You are now well. But don’t sin anymore or something worse might happen to you.” (John 5:14 CEV) Sin tied him up for thirty-eight years. His only hope was that as he sat by the pool in Bethesda, someone would help him get intoContinueContinue reading “Give It Up”
Rising with the Son
We are more than conquerors through [Christ] who loved us. (Romans 8:37 NIV) It’s been nine years since I launched a personal blog on Facebook. At first, “Rising with the Son” sounded like a catchy title for a Christian book I intended to publish. I still remember brainstorming a bunch of titles with my friendContinueContinue reading “Rising with the Son”
This Is It!
The two of them climbed into the boat, and the wind died down. The disciples in the boat, having watched the whole thing, worshiped Jesus, saying, “This is it! You are God’s Son for sure!” (Matthew 14:32-33 MSG) There’s not one person on God’s green earth who enjoys storms and even if we looked forContinueContinue reading “This Is It!”
Come Ahead
But Jesus was quick to comfort them. “Courage, it’s me. Don’t be afraid.” Peter, suddenly bold, said, “Master, if it’s really you, call me to come to you on the water.” He said, “Come ahead.” (Matthew 14:27-30 MSG) After feeding the large crowd, Jesus sends His disciples away in the boat and goes up toContinueContinue reading “Come Ahead”
Don’t be Afraid; Just Believe
A synagogue ruler by the name of Jairus went to get Jesus because his twelve-year-old daughter was dying. Not long after, some men came from the house and told him not to bother Jesus because the girl had died. Jesus ignored them, told Jairus to believe and continued on his way. “When they came toContinueContinue reading “Don’t be Afraid; Just Believe”
Don’t Let It Get in the Way
Have you noticed how most of the miracles have one thing in common: someone or something always tried to get in the way of someone receiving their miracle. Here are just some of the many examples we find in the Gospels: Jairus, the synagogue leader who went looking for Jesus for life, was told notContinueContinue reading “Don’t Let It Get in the Way”
No Word From God Will Ever Fail
The angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to give him the name John…Zechariah asked the angel, “How can I be sure of this? I am an old man and my wife is well along in years.”ContinueContinue reading “No Word From God Will Ever Fail”
Never Stop Believing and Expecting
Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and learned thatContinueContinue reading “Never Stop Believing and Expecting”
