SEEING WHAT IT IS INSTEAD OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE

Jesus had an amazing anointing to see what it is instead of what it looked like. If I were to ask you, what was the first miracle of Jesus. You would say the turning water into wine at the wedding feast......but if I were to ask you what the second miracle of Jesus was......could you answer without looking it up? The second miracle is found in John 4... A nobleman came to Jesus after the wedding feast( he may have been a guest there, the Bible doesn't say). He wanted Jesus to come home with him and heal his son who was near death. Now I am sure he loved his son and wanted him healed but Jesus cut to the chase and said this to the man......except ye see signs and wonders, you will not believe.....isn't that a strange thing to say, but Jesus knew the man's heart was not right. He did not come with the right motive. The man implored him again to heal his son and Jesus said ...go thy way thy son liveth. He met his servants on the way and they told him his son lived. He asked when this came to pass and it was the same hour that Jesus spoke your son liveth and then he and his whole house believed. Jesus was right the man believed because of the signs and wonders....this was the second miracle that Jesus did when he came out of Judea into Galilee. Isn't that something... The first miracle was celebration of a new life and destiny for a couple who came together to share the rest of their lives.... And the second miracle was full of unbelief.......the next miracle John mentions is the fellow who layed by a pool for 38 years whining he had no one to help him in the water. I never cared for this guy much...Jesus healed him and the religious crowd got upset and wanted to know who did this. The guy did not know so he went back and found out then went and told on Jesus. How ungrateful can you get....just a few things to think about... God bless Linda
