Jesus commands miracles!

There was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Now there is in Jerusalem at the Sheep Gate
a pool called in Hebrew Bethesda, with five porticoes.
In these lay a large number of ill, blind, lame, and crippled.
One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years.
When Jesus saw him lying there
and knew that he had been ill for a long time, he said to him,
"Do you want to be well?"
The sick man answered him,
"Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool
when the water is stirred up;
while I am on my way, someone else gets down there before me."
Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your mat, and walk."
Immediately the man became well, took up his mat, and walked.
Now that day was a sabbath.
So the Jews said to the man who was cured,
"It is the sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to carry your mat."
He answered them, "The man who made me well told me,
'Take up your mat and walk.'"
They asked him,
"Who is the man who told you, 'Take it up and walk'?"
The man who was healed did not know who it was,
for Jesus had slipped away, since there was a crowd there.
After this Jesus found him in the temple area and said to him,
"Look, you are well; do not sin any more,
so that nothing worse may happen to you."
The man went and told the Jews
that Jesus was the one who had made him well.
Therefore, the Jews began to persecute Jesus
because he did this on a sabbath.

~John 5:1-16

Jesus commands miracles! Do you see a pattern? Jesus sure does a lot of miracles on the Sabbath. The elite, priests, Pharisees, and above all, they do not like His power. That is what it really boils down to more than anything. This blog is to share miracles, this one is very important. We need to remember that Jesus is the God of miracles! He performs so many all cited in the Bible. He even uses miracles to show His power and who He really is, but some just do not get it? Do they? Do you believe in God? Are you following Jesus? Have you had miracles in your own life? I know I have and write about them here. Please feel free to share your own miracles here, that is what this blog is all about! We need to stop sinning, stop all the excuses, follow Jesus and believe in Him! We live in a world created by God filled with so many miracles!
