“As I read the New Testament, I saw that Jesus performs deeds which only the God of the Old Testament performs. Jesus forgives sins! Jesus raises the dead! Jesus stills the raging waters of the Sea of Galilee! And Jesus makes people’s response to Him the basis of their eternal destination!” (96) – (Johnson, Darrell Who is Jesus?)
The Feast recalls that miracle and celebrates the fact that it was a
sign of the greater miracle to come – the miracle of God pouring out of His Spirit
upon His people, filling and flooding them with the water of life.
The reading this week prompted many questions for me. One set of questions are as follows; What is so special about Jesus?
How is he miraculously pouring out His Spirit upon His people? How is He miraculously pouring out His spirit
on you?
One answer to these questions is - God is miraculously pouring out His spirit right now through the testimony of His saints that are serving on admin with Sonshine Ministries and/or contributing to the blog. Thanks for sharing your journey via the blog. Your stories, thoughts, and impressions bring rich encouragement and intrigue about the mystery of Christ's gospel and His new world order that He is establishing through you. For me, your writings are a glorious appearing and out pouring of Spirit. Thanks!
