I want to see one. Lately, I’ve come across quite a few things related to miracles whether it’s in my daily reading or someone I meet who happens to be talking about the topic. It happened again today… twice.
The first time, I was reading Acts 3. The story in brief - a man who was lame since birth was instantaneously healed. How? By faith. Jesus was not physically present but the healing was done in his name by people who believed that Jesus was God and that meant he had the power to heal. This type of stuff just doesn’t happen every day. Most people can’t say they’ve experienced a miracle and when they do we doubt them. I think this is why I want to see one. Because it defies logic and proves to me once again (most honest folks need a reminder every now and again) that there is a God and if he really is who he says he is he WILL on the regular defy human logic.
The second time, I was waiting for a meeting to start and opened up a devotional book to today's date. The entry just seemed so relevant that I wanted to share.
"It Defies Logic
Those who saw Jesus – really saw him – knew there was something different. At his touch blind beggars saw. At his command crippled legs walked. At his embrace empty lives filled with vision.
He fed thousands with one basket. He stilled storms with one command. He changed lives with one request. He rerouted the history of the world with one life, lived in one country, was born in one manger, and died on one hill….
God did what we wouldn’t dare dream. He did what we couldn’t imagine. He became a man so we could trust him. He became a sacrifice so we could know him. And he defeated death so we could follow him.
It defies logic. It is a divine insanity. A holy incredibility.
Only a Creator beyond the fence of logic could offer such a gift of love.“
