The Work of God
Rom 1:16-17
Mak 8:15-30
Without death, there is no resurrection
The Gospel is about the death of Jesus & then His resurrection
Death is hard to swallow as we are used to live by sight
Yet if we don't go through trials, we won't see the resurrection & we won't be strengthen in our faith towards Him
Peter, like the restored partially blind man, was not fully clear about Jesus
Many times we are like Peter, only seeing Jesus in the manner that we prefer
Mak 8:30-38
Jesus wants us to be weary of the things of men - living by sight and not by faith
Jhn 20
The disciples went to see the empty tomb & didn't believe
Sight is not how Jesus wants us to live by
Sometimes we won't even see the physical things until Jesus choose to reveal it to us
Jesus continues to work so that His disciples come to believe in Him
Jesus wants His disciples to learn to live not by sight but by what Jesus wants us to see
Jhn 6:28-29
The work of God is when we believe in Jesus
An increase in our faith in Jesus
The book of revelations is written in a manner when visions comes, destuctions then come and followed by a promises of restoration
This shows that the Lord has planned for us to walk this journeys of ups and down. However never once is He out of control and not aware of our downs. He continues to gives us visions after visions of being with Him and to come to know Jesus' faithfulness and salavation plans for ourselves. Through all the ups & downs, we will also be changed into the image of God.
Isa 44:6
Rev 12:22-23
