Jesus knows no barriers of age, culture, wealth or religious status. He is in charge and his timing is perfect.
We can come to him anywhere, at any time, with our needs for ourselves or for others.
Our requests can be public or asked quietly and privately.
When we seem to be “at the end of of the rope” Jesus says, “Don’t be afraid, only believe”. Jesus gives hope to all.
Jesus took the demons on – his actions were counter cultural.
He was not looking for fame. When Jesus confronted demons, he spoke the truth, showed compassion, spent time in prayer and enabled the service of others.
An amazing message of inclusive gracious love!
Everybody matters – every single person is included in the household of God.
The fishermen that Jesus called were everyday peasants.
They were taken out of their comfortable places to a less comfortable place.
Following Jesus is not a one-off decision but a change of life.
It may stretch our ability in all directions and into unknown places.
What do you think? Was it right for Jesus to test Philip by asking him to feed 5000 people?
To be active agents of change we can only lead others as far as we ourselves have gone. We have no ability to affirm or communicate to another person that they are good or special until we know it strongly ourselves.
