It Is He!

The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

Matthew 11:5

Reading:

Matthew 11:1-15

These questions will make more sense if you read the passage.

What should I do with my own doubts regarding spiritual matters? (3)

How highly do I value the witness of another? (4)

If I show another what I see and hear, will it be helpful to him? (4)

Offended in Jesus? Me? Why? When? (6)

What motivates me to go hear the visiting preacher? (7-9)

“He that hath ears to hear, let him hear” (Matthew 11:15).

How well does my heart use my ears?

[The Scriptures say in Matthew 11:6 -- And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me]

Do You Get It?

For with God nothing shall be impossible.

Luke 1:37

Reading:

Luke 1:30-38

This passage comprises the second half of the International Bible Study for this coming Sunday.

I found two “gems” for me that certainly speak to the inner turmoil with which I awoke:

“With God nothing shall be impossible” (Luke 1:37) — Have I sufficient faith to rest in that and to live by that?

“Be it unto me according to thy word” (Luke 1:38) — Do I trust God enough to yield to His unexpected ways and plans?

So often, I do not understand (nor enjoy) God’s ways, but I yield to them. (There’s a lot behind that, but I’m not going to get that personal on the Internet!)
