Easter and Miracles

Easter is about the resurrection of Jesus after His death on the cross.  Jesus came to die and then be raised again.  He came to take on the sins of the world and forgive our transpasses. God only asks that we believe in His Son to be saved. This great love is the greater miracle of all times.  Yet, there were many miracles in scripture leading up to the birth of Jesus and many miracles followed leading up the death on the cross.  Miracles are still happening today. Why?  Because God loves His people.

Miracles

 

God parted the Red Sea and the waves climbed higher,

Followed by a cloud in the day and, by night, a pillar of fire.

The moon was made to stop and the sun to stand still,

Giving Joshua light to win the fight with God’s powerful skill.

The shadow of the sun turned back ten steps.

This was no mishap.

The mouth of lions was shut;

Daniel lived with no wounds or cut.

Four men walked in the midst of fire;

To save the three, was God’s desire.

Jonah lived in the belly of a whale, 

Another miracle to tell. 

Miracles exist, always.

A child was raised;

There was a virgin birth

Upon the earth,

There was water turned to wine;

Yet, people disbelieve and whine.

Five thousand were fed 

With only 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread.

Jesus walked on the water, calmed the storm.

There exist miracles in every form.

Healing is taking place, 

Does not matter the race.

A Savior dying on a Cross

Come back to life, dissolving loss.

Miracles! 

Yes, miracles! But sinners cynical.

A miracle, forever lasting,

Within the casting-

The greatest love - forgiveness of sin

And grace through Him.

Miracles! God’s wonders;

Count them by the numbers.
