STILL NOT CONVINCED?

Three disciples of Jesus have just heard heaven endorse their Master and seen Moses (~1450 years after his death) and Elijah who went to heaven in a whirlwind (~ 850 years ago).  WOW!                                                                                                                                                  
Guess who knew all about fire & water, prayer & fasting?   

Yup, Moses & Elijah. (Matthew 17)                                

So why can’t the disciples heal a lunatic who keeps falling into fire and water? 
Their lack of faith – in a word, unbelief.                                                   

So what connects us with divine power?  Prayer & fasting.                

Would you believe?...popular translations today leave this out! Skipping meals is not welcome, thank you very much.                                                  

Now look who has the faith here – a man is on his knees begging: “Lord have mercy...”

In case we still need convincing who Jesus is...

• He has omnipresence, overhearing the temple-tax collectors: “Does your teacher not pay the didrachmas?”                           
• He has omniscience, knowing which fish has the coin in its mouth!
• He has omnipotence, making that fish take Peter’s hook!

"What the....!?"

Can you imagine a commercial fisherman finding money in the first fish he catches?  You can still hear Peter laughing!

This King has power over demons, power over death, power over Creation, all-seeing, all-knowing, all powerful... Jesus Christ is awesome!                                                                                                                    

He is the real temple of God and... He’s now on a mission...

“The Son of Man...they shall kill Him 

and the third day He shall be raised up”
