Jesus, Lord of Our Impossibilities #2 of 2
September 18, 2008
It's 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.

Living With Your Passions
In a hyper-sexualized culture, sex is either reduced to pleasure-seeking or conflated with our identity. But God designed us as sexual beings for emotional and spiritual intimacy whose highest calling is to worship Him. In this revised edition, Pastor Erwin Lutzer draws on forty years of ministry experience to present a rationale for sexual purity. He gives an honest answer to the sexual pressures we face like extramarital relationships, self-gratification, same-sex attraction, and more. As desire-driven creatures, we don't have to pursue happiness at the expense of character. With our identity grounded in Christ, we can live victoriously with our passions.

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.

Many people who seek miracles today travel to shrines or large public meetings. In Jesus' day, that wasn't 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've all heard the expression "good things come to them that wait." That was never more true 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?

What do you think is the greatest miracle that has ever taken place? 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 one 1 verse 14. Today: why that miracle reigns supreme, and why it matters more than any other miracle we could experience.

When all your options are gone, when there is no other way, when your back is against the wall...well, what do you pray for? A miracle. All of us have hoped for one at one time or another.

When a potter throws clay on his wheel, that clay has no choice about what it's going to become. Its job: sit there and be shaped. Seeing ourselves as clay helps us avoid the "I'm in charge" attitude we all too often have. As the Potter, God's in charge, and He has a purpose we cannot see, a purpose that will take us through the fire so that, one day, we'll come out as gold.

We humans tend to think we're hot stuff. We think we're in control, little realizing that someone else sets the agenda. Many believers have never seen themselves as clay on a potter's wheel, being molded to suit the Potter's purposes. But the sooner we understand that, the sooner we'll be fruitful members of the body of Christ. Today: lessons from a wheel and a furnace, during a trip to Israel.

To win a major race, runners lose extra weight. They cast off everything that might slow them down on their way to victory. Believers are commanded to love God supremely, and cast off every weight and sin that besets them. Then, they can run life's race at top speed, knowing that the goal line will bring them face to face with the God they love. How's your race going today?
