Does the world recognize Jesus today?

6:54 Mark “As soon as they got out of the boat, people recognized Jesus." (NIV)

In the middle of the lake, when Jesus enters the boat, the winds and waves grow calm. His presence calms the storms in life. They arrive on the other side of the lake. Before He can even get out of the boat, people know who He is and they bring all the sick and lame to be healed… and He heals them. Such great faith. If they can just touch Him, they know that they will be healed. Yet, we now live in a world that seems to want no part of Jesus. They don’t even recognize Him or give Him the honor that He is due. He still needs us to share that Good News as there are STILL many who are sick from sin and need His healing touch. Tell someone!

Please extend this verse to family, friends, and co-workers in His kingdom. Ask how they may have felt after seeing 5000 people fed and after seeing Jesus calming the storms. Ask if they feel that such miracles could happen in our day and age. Share with them all that God has done for you in your life. We may take miracles for granted today. There are amazing things that happen all around us that never make the news… because they are part of the Good News. Always Take Time For God’s Word© daily as you help others to see Jesus or at 6:54 am or pm as you consider this verse and Jesus healing touch. Let this verse remind you of the power of Jesus and His compassion for healing those who are brought to Him. The people got it… He came to heal. The disciples often missed it… they didn’t see the great power that He had. They often tried to keep people away from Him. Is that us, too? Do we have ‘church friends’ and ‘other friends’ OR do we just have friends who need Jesus? Remember to introduce Jesus to ALL your friends (and even any enemies). All need His healing hand in their lives. Then, they will recognize Jesus… the Son of God.

Our prayers continue for all the youth music programs and choirs in our churches and fellowship groups. Music touches us deeply. There are SO MANY great hymns and Christians songs. Young people seem to always have music playing and they enjoy singing. We need to encourage them to join into these groups. What they learn there will last a lifetime. It will create a bond with others as well. Thank those who provide for the youth music programs where you worship. Support them in this great effort. Be a blessing to those who make music for you. Pass it on by helping others to recognize Jesus through your acts of love and kindness each day.
