Believing the Words of Jesus cannot be done apart from believing the Word who is Jesus. This is why we read the Scriptures because to believe the Word of God is to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
God is Greater than…
“The floods have lifted up,
O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice;
the floods lift up their roaring.
Mightier than the thunders of many waters,
mightier than the waves of the sea,
the Lord on high is mighty”
Psalm 93:3, 4
Important Earthquakes
There was an earthquake at Calvary (Matt. 27:54) & there was an earthquake at the Resurrection (Matt. 28:2) – They came from God. What other conclusion can there be? The one prompted a confession: “truly this man was the Son of God”; the other saw a stone rolled away.
The Power of the Sea
The catastrophe in Japan should remind us that God rules the raging of the sea & when its waves rise he stills them – Ps. 89:9. Though Satan would throw the nations into despair – God will do his work simply because he is God. May the Gospel do great things in Japan.
