“Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?” (John 7:30-31 KJV)
Yes, can anybody else do the miracles the Lord Jesus has done? Such a very accurate question to ask by many who believed among the crowd. With all the signs that had been manifest before their very eyes to see, only the Messiah - the Lord Jesus Christ, who already is in their midst, can do. Those who believed exhibited virtuous defiance against pressure by religious authorities, who are after the Lord to seize Him but couldn't lay their hands on Him. The Lord's time is not yet come. These true seekers of God, stood by faith on the grounds of grace and truth in Christ Jesus. They are examples for us all, specially for those that are held hostage by today's religious and worldly influences. Yes, the world is inundated with isms clogging the hearts and minds of many. But there is hope, when we truly come and listen. So, let's allow God's Words to speak to us! Then, we receive to eat and drink Him-the Lord Jesus who is the Word. He is our true bread from heaven. He brings us life in this finite dimension, and unto the infinite sphere of living.
Nothing of essence for this life and the hereafter, than the Words that the Lord Jesus Christ speaks. It is not about ritualistic "church stuffs". That leads to nowhere and can't bring you close to God. Truth is, this "churchiness" is not of God. It's only a deceptive tool that sounds good but leads people away from the truth and intimate relationship with Christ Jesus. So, we have to listen to His Words, not religious creeds and political correctness. His Words will last forever to sustain us. It will never pass away! It is written, the Lord Jesus Christ proclaimed: “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.” (Matthew 24:35 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!
