Cynics can stay in the tomb where things are predictable and familiar and dark. We learn to cope in the confines of the tomb. Cynics, come on out of the tomb. Embrace wonder and mystery and hope and the unknown of a world where Jesus is alive and walking beside us.. The land of the living is where anything is possible. #LifeLoveJesus #TheMiraclesOfJesus #WestideChurch
This miracle is the beginning of the revelation. The beginning of the unveiling of the person and purpose of Jesus Christ. This is the launch.
Jesus goes to those places and to those people the religious refuse to go. Moving toward the sick, the crippled, and the rejected shows us God’s heart for those on the margins. #lifelovejesus #westsidechurch #miraclesofjesus
The Second Miraculous Catch of Fish at the Sea of Tiberias #LifeLoveJesus #TheMiraclesOfJesus #WestsideChurch The miracles of Jesus are the perfect lens through which to see His character. We’ll look at one miracle each week and sift through it to find – not clues to His identity – but clues to His way. For instance, Jesus’ miracles reveal His heart toward women, foreigners, the poor, and the outcast. They reveal His compassion toward those who are sick or hungry. As we discover His way, we have a clear model for our way of being in our world.
The way of Jesus is scary and unfamiliar. Many only followed him for a little while because the miracle was a deal-breaker. So if you’re serious about following Jesus, buckle up – it’s a bumpy, crazy ride.
The miracles give us a clear model for our way of being in our world. To live like Jesus. To live in light of his character and quality. To what degree is my life reflecting the extravagant love and compassion of Jesus?

Healing makes a mockery of the religious and is a stumbling block for those with something to lose, but for those who believe… Healing creates a wonder of God.
