#DailyDevotion Jesus Is Not Only A Great Prophet, He Is The Great Prophet

#DailyDevotion Jesus Is Not Only A Great Prophet, He Is The Great Prophet Luke 7:16-17 16They were all overawed and praised God. “A great prophet has risen among us,” they said, and, “God has come to help His people.” 17This story about Jesus spread all over the country of the Jews and in all the surrounding territory. There really aren't a whole lot of miracle workers in the Bible. The first person to perform supernatural manifestations is Moses. The LORD used him to announce plagues which came to pass, divide the Red Sea, call for water from a rock, amongst other signs to call the Israelites to faith. Joshua kind of manifest one with the toppling of Jericho's walls. After that, we really don't see much miraculous activity till Elijah and Elisha. After them, we don't see many miracles. After the rebuilding of Jerusalem the prophet as far as we can tell ceased...until John. But John the Baptist didn't perform any miracles as far as we know. He was a dynamic preacher. He called people to repent of their sins and they did. People flocked out to meet him and hear him and I guess that is something of a miracle but not really miraculous. Jesus however is a different story. We read in Deut. 18, 15"The LORD your God will raise a Prophet for you, one of you, an Israelite, like me; listen to Him.” Next to Elijah and Elisha, there hadn't been a prophet like Moses. Now, in Jesus of Nazareth, we see a prophet like Moses. He preaches God's Word with authority. He preaches the Law in its purest sense. Jesus heals the sick. He casts out demons. He gives sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf and speech to the mute. He heals lepers. Now, here in Luke 7, Jesus raises a young man from the dead. So of course the people are overawed and praised God. They shout, “A great prophet has risen among us.” This news of Jesus raising the dead spreads pretty much like wild fire. There were lots of witnesses. Jesus indeed is the promised prophet foretold by Moses. As Moses led the people out of Egypt with miraculous signs and wonders, Jesus leads us out of this age of Misery with his signs and wonders. Moses provided the people with manna, quail and water. Jesus multiplied the fish and the bread, more than that, he gives us his very body and blood to eat and drink as we partake the bread and wine and receive immortality. Most importantly, Jesus not only raise this young man from the dead and other people from the dead, Jesus himself rises from the dead never to die again. The other people Jesus raised from the dead eventually died again. Jesus died and rose immortal. Death has no grip on him. He has overcome death. This is important because he has overcome death for you. His resurrection is your resurrection. We are joined to Jesus' resurrection when we are baptized, our spirit/soul/heart being resurrected to new life.(Rom. 6) Not only that we are promised through faith in Jesus and through baptism we too will rise and be like Jesus now, with immortal, imperishable, and glorious bodies like Jesus' risen body. Unlike those who died again, on that day we shall never die again. For that we should now give Jesus thanks and praise even as the crowds did on the day in Luke 7. Heavenly Father, give us faith in Jesus and remember your promise in our baptisms into Jesus, so we may live new lives now and be resurrected with a resurrection like Jesus' on the day of his revelation. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Read the full article

#DailyDevotion We Worship A God Who Raises The Dead

#DailyDevotion We Worship A God Who Raises The Dead 1 Kings 17:19-2419“Give me your boy,” he said to her. He took him from her arms and carried him to the upper room where he was staying and laid him on his own bed. 20Then he cried to the LORD. “LORD my God,” he said, “would You also bring misery on the widow I'm staying with by killing her boy?” 21Then he stretched himself out on the boy three times and called to the LORD, “O LORD my God, please make this boy live again.” 22The LORD did what Elijah asked, and the life of the boy returned again to his body and so he lived. 23Elijah took the boy, brought him down from the upper room of the house, and gave him to his mother. “Look," Elijah said, "your boy is alive.” 24"Now I'm convinced,” the woman told Elijah, "you are a man of God and the LORD's Word you speak is the truth.” So, no, I don't think Elijah performed CPR on the sick boy. Having taken CPR, it looks nothing like this anyway. Why does he take the boy to the upper room? Why does he stretch himself out on the boy three times? Who knows. Prophets do some strange things sometimes. We do see here Elijah's own being irate with the LORD for allowing the boy to get sick to the point of death and having the widow be irate with him. The certain thing we see is Elijah calling upon the LORD 3 times. The LORD hears Elijah's prayers and restores the boy back to health. You would think a jar of oil and flour never running out would be enough to convince someone the person who promised it was actually a man of God. I guess having Elijah live there for several years was enough to convince her men of God are sinners also. Perhaps it was enough to make her doubt his calling. We are hard headed creatures. Having received her boy back from the dead she is now convinced Elijah is a man of God whose word he speaks is the LORD's and is the truth. We should not be so hard-headed. Remember, this is a devotion, not a commentary. As I read this text there are several things that come to my mind as I think about it. Jesus has his disciples in the upper room where he feeds them the medicine of immortality, i.e. the LORD's Supper. Elijah takes the boy to the upper room and makes him alive again. On another hand, Jesus is the son of a widow, Mary. Mary thinks her son Jesus is dead on Friday. On the third day, the Spirit raises Jesus from the dead and Mary receives him back. That Jesus Christ is risen from the dead is the message makes us believe he is the Messiah, the very Son of God whose Word is Truth and is the Word of Truth. I'm not saying that is the meaning of the text but those are the thoughts the text brings to my mind. Those thoughts in themselves are the truth of the Gospel. Perhaps what we should get from the text is the simple truth of the words of the widow. Elijah is a man of God whose word of truth is the LORD's. We should recognize as the widow does the LORD is God, the creator of all that is seen and unseen. The LORD who promised Elijah he would take care of him and the widow is the same LORD Jesus who promises us the Father knows what we need and we shouldn't be anxious about it but rather to “seek his kingdom and his righteousness and these things will be added to us.” Most of all this same LORD Jesus Christ as he raised the widow's son through the prayer of Elijah is going to raise from the dead everyone and give eternal life to all who believe in him and eternal perdition to all who rejected him. Heavenly Father, give us faith to trust you, Jesus and the Spirit are the LORD speaking the truth, taking care of us, and raising us to eternal life on the Last Day. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
