Show us the Glory Lord, and we'll believe

48Then Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe.”    John 4:48  NKJV

We touched on this verse yesterday, but there is much more to it. We can see from scriptures around the cross, that Jesus was watched for every move He made or word He spoke. They divided His clothes, took His possessions and totally humiliated Him. Of course, they wanted Him to perform a miracle and come down from the cross, they would then believe in Him. But Jesus, never acted in such a way. He had nothing to prove then and still has nothing to prove now.

Many today, are tempted to treat Jesus similar. 'Give us more Lord, send your fire upon us.' A word of caution here, be careful what you ask for. I know of at least two or three churches that have burnt down because of such requests. Always be choosey with your words, God may take you up on what you ask.

We cannot trade with God; He is not a God who we can convince of the way forward. He knows the way; He is the way and that is it. Many came to Jesus wanting to see Him and witness His great miracles. Some treated Him as if he was a side show in a circus. Listen, Jesus will have no part of this type of thing. As I've mentioned, He has a mission and will do all He can to fulfil this mission. There are many deceivers about, probably one we like to watch is 'Dynamo'. He has an amazing skill but it is only magic and deceit. Yes it is exciting to watch what he does but, he is only a showman, don't get misled or drawn in. Enjoy the shows but don't believe that any of it is the truth. Only Jesus is the truth.

Enjoy Jesus for who He is and what He wants to gives us - and that is a lot. Enjoy Him, honour Him and give him the first place on your life. You won't regret it.

If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now:

Lord Jesus, I have sinned   

I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today.

In Jesus' Name. Amen'
