Don’t be Afraid……………..

The Lord remembers his covenant forever.

As Jesus comes walking across the water he says, “It is I. Don’t be afraid.” Over 300 times in the Bible we hear that message from God. “Fear not! For I am with you; don’t be afraid, it is the Lord.”

Jesus and his disciples, including James and John left the synagogue and went straight to the home of Simon and Andrew. Simon’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever, and as soon as Jesus arrived, he was told about her. He went to her, took her by the hand, and helped her up. The fever left her, and he began to wait on them.

As the followers of Jesus,we are supposed to witness the miracles Jesus does. But why is it that we do not see any miracles happening in our lives? We do not get healed and we remain feverish in our desire for wealth and power. Our being Christian has made us content, believing that we have found Jesus. Yet, Jesus still goes around “the nearby villages,” preaching, healing the sick and casting out demons. To those who truly search for him and welcome him into their lives, his words become present and miracles do happen.
