WHAT A DISPLAY OF POWER Thursday September 3, 2015
Text: Matthew 27:50 – 56 Memory verse: v 51
During
the arrest, trial and crucifixion of Jesus Christ, He didn’t need any struggle
with His accusers or the Roman soldiers, to prove His power and authority.
Events as ordained by God were enough to prove that He is the son of God. The
veil torn apart on its own, there was earthquake which split the rocks, graves
of the dead were opened and saints resurrected. What a display of power of God.
This made the centurion to acknowledge saying, “Truly this was the Son of
God!"
Most
people need to see the power of God demonstrated before they can believe but it
is more blessed to believe before seeing (John 20:29b). The rending veil of the
temple, the quaking earth, the bursting rocks, the opening graves, and the
rising dead, all testified to the death of Jesus Christ as God Almighty. These
gave us access to the throne of mercy. Do you believe that indeed Jesus Christ
is the Lord? Let these events strengthen your faith.
Food for Thought: Are you convinced that Jesus is indeed the Son of
God?
Prayer: Lord, as you speak to me through signs, grant me understanding.
