Running To Win

Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

Jesus, Lord Of Nature #2 of 2

April 18, 2011
Do severe trials mean you have left the will of God? Not always. Jesus sent His disciples onto a storm-tossed sea. God uses storms to mold our character, and our job is to hold on to our faith in Christ no matter what. Sometimes, God leads His people into the tempest to teach them what cannot be taught in comfort. Today: lessons from some wind-whipped water.

From Mary weeping at the tomb, to Thomas' doubting, to Christ's counseling session with two discouraged disciples on the road to Emmaus, Pastor Lutzer shows readers that the experiences of the disciples are poignant and relevant for believers today. This is a book that is sure to invigorate your faith and make a lasting difference in the hands of a friend.

Most of us believe in the unchanging laws of nature: light things float, heavy things sink. But that isn’t always true. To calm His disciples’ fears, Jesus decided to overrule the usual laws of nature. He walked on water, and later commanded a storm to cease. If you had been in that boat, what would your reaction have been?

Food never tastes as good as it does when you’re really hungry. Jesus knew this when He miraculously fed the 5,000. He later spoke to the crowd about Himself as the Bread of Life, encouraging the spiritually hungry to believe in Him. Today we will learn why we need eternal bread, and where to find it. It comes from the same hands that multiplied the loaves and fishes.

The early miracles of Jesus were private. Later, they became public. One day, over 5,000 were fed from a boy’s lunch. Generally in life there are no free lunches. But this day was different, and the news of this incredible miracle spread like wildfire. Today: come with us to the shore of the Sea of Galilee for the story of multiplied loaves and fishes, and what that miracle means.

It is interesting how Jesus tied obedience to receiving a miracle. “Get up and walk!” He told a paralyzed man. In most cases, the miracle happened as the needy person obeyed. Could it be that many of us desire a miracle more than we desire to be obedient to God, who can grant the miracle? Today: lessons from John chapter five and a healing at the Pool of Bethesda.

If you have a great need, and you’ve had it for a long time, you may have given up all hope that your need will ever be met. As runners in life’s race, we may face impossible situations. That is, unless the Lord of the impossible does a miracle. The Bible teaches that all things are possible with God. Today we will see Jesus do the impossible at the Pool of Bethesda.

In times of crisis, we cry out to God like a man in Jesus’ day who saw his crisis faith become contagious faith. Jesus did many miracles to display His glory and encourage our belief. We too can have contagious faith, faith that takes Christ at His word. Today: lessons we can learn from a long-distance healing 2,000 years ago.

Many people who seek miracles today travel to shrines or large public meetings. In Jesus’ day, that was not necessary. His miracles transcended time and space. He spoke, and it was done, whether right in front of Him or twenty miles away. Today: the power and glory of miracles done at a distance. Miracles that should, indeed, be convincing.

We have all heard the expression “good things come to those who wait.” That was never truer than it was at a simple Jewish wedding. When Jesus turned water into wine as the wedding party was nearing its end. He took the least and made it into the best. Today: more about Christ’s first miracle at Cana, one of many proving He was and is the Son of God.

It was a small wedding in a small town. But when the wine ran out, a typical wedding quickly became very untypical, as a wedding guest, Jesus, emerged from anonymity by performing His first miracle. That day, gallons of water were turned into the sweetest of wines. Veteran tasters there in Cana rated the result: “wow.” So what was the purpose of this miracle?
April 5, 2011
What do you think is the greatest miracle that has ever taken place? Was it God creating a trillion stars or billions of living things? No, as Erwin Lutzer explains it, God’s greatest miracle was the Word becoming flesh as expressed in the gospel of John chapter 1 verse 14.  We will look at why that miracle reigns supreme, and why it matters more than any other miracle we could experience.
