Who Goes There?

“When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret.

And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People brought all their sick to him and begged him to let the sick just touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.

Matthew 14:34-36

 

 

You have to give ‘the men of that place’ credit.

Jesus came into their midst and they recognized Him.

That is saying a lot considering that Jesus often

comes into our midst and we fail to recognize it.

Maybe we are distracted with other things.

Maybe we are daydreaming about the rest of our day.

Our friends are calling, our hobbies, pastimes and diversions crowd in.

Maybe Jesus comes in a way we are not accustomed too so we simply dismiss Him with the thought that ‘it surely can’t be God!’

Do you want the power of God manifested in your life?

Then step one is to recognize when Jesus is in your midst!

“Well”, you say, “isn’t He always with me?”

Yes He is.

But the men of Gennesaret recognized that Jesus was in their midst, not simply to teach, but to manifest the Kingdom of God through healing the sick.

How do we know that?

By their actions!

They brought all their sick to Him and as many as touched His cloak were healed.  

 

Lord:

We ask for the revelation of the Holy Spirit to recognize when Jesus is in our midst.

We know that He can come to a people and be rejected or He can come to a people and fail to be recognized.

Open our eyes to see and our spirits to discern Jesus in our midst.

In His Name Alone We Pray

Amen!
