WE AIN’T SEEN NOTHIN YET

READING: ACTS 9:32-35

Verse 34: “And Peter said to him, ‘Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you. Arise and make your bed.” Then he arose immediately”

We become stirred up and excited by miracles of the Lord. It is always a blessing to see a situation dramatically resolved in an unpredictable or even an impossible manner. Those events are made greater by the fact that Lord obtains recognition and is glorified. There is still another very notable intent, purpose and significance of miracles. This is exemplified in the verse above. This event was certainly fully miraculous, but verse 35 following tells of an even greater display of supernatural power following this miracle. It says all who dwelt at Lydda and Sharon saw him (Aenas) and turned to the Lord. As the direct result of this miracle, the people of two complete communities were saved. They saw the power of God impressively displayed in a way that was amazing to them. From their perspective, what could have been greater? However, there was greater and more to come. Today, even though we are aware of so much that is beyond their experience, there is still more to come. There is no end or limit to the expressions of God’s miraculous power. That’s a thought – about God’s Word.

RESPONSE

1. Is there any way that modern miracles are different from those recorded in the Bible?

2. Do you expect to see or experience miracles?
