It's a bit cloudy where I am today. But, that is keeping the hot summer temperatures down. There is always something good to be found - even on a cloudy day.
Have you ever noticed that no one that Jesus healed doubted his healing? None questioned or hesitated when Jesus said, "take up your bed and walk", "Lazarus, come forth", "go, your faith has made you whole", "get up", "go, and sin no more". He commanded the storms to stop and they did. He commanded demons to depart - they did. He commanded water to turn to wine - it did. He commanded fish to jump into Peter's net - they did. He prayed five fish into enough to feed 5,000 people with a lot left over. So much more words He spoke and "it was so".
He told the men He called to "follow me" and they did. They just got up and went with Him. There was no question, no hesitation.
As the King of Kings, Lord of Lords and Son of the Almighty God of the Universe, He was royalty of royalty. I can imagine His regal demeanor. We are told there was nothing unusual about His appearance; he looked like every other 30 year old Hebrew man of the day. After all, He was able to disappear into the crowd when He needed to. Neither His clothes or His looks were different. But, oh the manner in which He spoke!
Why can't we see Him this way? Why do we make Him weak and "pretty" in our eyes? even blonde with blue eyes? (I am sure He had intense eyes. After all, He can see into your very soul.)
Crowds of people flocked to Him - by the hundreds. Many were captivated and became the foundation of the greatest religious movement ever known. Christianity swept the globe and has maintained it's will-not-die presence to this day. Because of the man from heaven that was not doubted by those who experienced Him.
May you ask Him for your healing and may He open your eyes to see Him more and more every day.
Amen
