How Powerful is Your Jesus?

-
There are two things that I love to do; tell stories about my amazing children and tell stories about my amazing grandchildren.  Last week, I read a post on FB from my daughter-in-law about one of my grandsons.  He’s six and quite brilliant.  I have a total of eight crazy-adorable little people that call me Grandma.  This particular grandson lives half way around the world.  Here is what the FB post said, “Jesus is so powerful he made God be his dad.”  It’s a direct quote from grandkid #3.  I love it!  See—amazing right! 

Although his theology isn’t perfect, his reality is awesome.  It does this grandma’s heart good to hear that he is thinking about Jesus.  His concepts of who Jesus is are being built daily.  His Jesus is all-powerful.  It made me wonder—how powerful is my Jesus?  What can HE do? 

Can he heal the brokenhearted and set the captive free?  Yes, he can!

Can he restore what the locusts have eaten? Seen this first hand!

Is he the balm in Gilead?  You bet!

Can he redeem a life from destruction?  Eye witness to this one.

Can he baptize in the Holy Spirit?  Absolutely!

Will he bring your prodigal home?  Yes, He Did!

Does he quench a smoking flax or break a bruised reed?  Never!  He’s gentle!

Does he turn the tables over in the temple and bring justice to the world?  He’s coming back!

Does he wink at sin?  No—He does not!

Does he have time for the least among us? Yes!

Is He—Deliverer, Strong Tower, Hiding Place, Refuge, Wonderful Counselor, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, The Lion of the Tribe of Judah and the Lamb that was slain?  9x’s YES!

How powerful is Your Jesus?


My Jesus is so powerful—He can capture the heart of a child and led him.  Thank you, Jesus!

The Waiting Room

"Wait!" "Have a seat, I’ll be with you in a minute." "It's going to be a 45 minute wait to be seen." We have all heard these phrases.  Even as I write this, I’m reminded of the cold, hard reality that if I’m left too long in  the waiting room ...it doesn't bring out my best qualities. Waiting has never been my strength and while we’re at it...neither is sharing space or taking turns. A few months ago, I found out that our family is getting new health insurance.  I was not excited about this.   It’s not that I’m overly loyalty to any insurance brand, but my family doctor for the past eight years, has won me over with her promptness in seeing patients within minutes of their appointment time and sometimes even before the scheduled appointment.  I will go so far as to say that she has a “zero” wait time in her office. Now, I'm sure you think I’m exaggerating…and I may be just a bit, but there has been many times in my years with thi

A Bright Light

We have an electrical problem at our house.  If the TV, fireplace and garage lights are all on at the same time, and then I try to blow dry my hair--it's not gonna work.  When this happens, I have to go out to the cold dark garage to find the breaker box.  There have been a few times when I actually went out into the darkness and kept moving in the general direction of the breaker box when I realized, I can't see anything. I'd return to the house and look for my phone to use it as a flashlight.  Once I was in the light, I could find the breaker box and get the lights back on. In Isaiah 9:2, there is an announcement in scripture that a bright light is coming and that  light will shine on all people giving them a way out of the darkness.  The coming of that bright light is what the  story of Christmas is all about. In John 1:4-5 it says,  “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life.”  There are 1
