Great!!! wonderful!!!! and marvelous!!!! are all adjectives describing miracles preformed by God in fact John states in John 21:25 “And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen.”

So today I lay back with my eyes closed and just wonder. Out of all of these great miracles that God preformed what would be considered the greatest of them all? And I can come to only one conclusion and that is, it is not one that I have listed here today, or that was preformed when Christ was here on earth.

But there is no doubt in my mind that the greatest miracle ever and I mean ever, ever performed by God was when He took a sinner like me and you and transformed our life from being the wretched sinners we were, to one who recognizes and believes through our faith in the cross and His word that the transforming power on Calvary absolutely and without any doubt in our minds saved us from death and the clutches of sin.

Oh the grace of God! And what Calvary meant for our SALVATION and through our faith, we can say Lord, I am going to trust you totally and place all of my confidence, hopes and dreams of eternity exclusively, on Calvary and what Christ did for each of us. For Romans 5:7-8  tells me “Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.  But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

and if what he has done for me, is not powerful enough to save me, then I will not be saved, because I will not trust in anyone else But Jesus Christ and Him Crucified. Because Jesus Christ has given each of us who believe on His name, the right and authorization to use his name. This tells me that you and I have been given the power of attorney. which is the jurisdiction to act in some one elses behalf, usually it happens when a person dies.

So at the death of my Savior Jesus Christ He gave each of us who through His grace and love who are willing to follow Him to the cross, legal permission to take action on his behalf. Mark 16:15 explains this legal contract and our obligation if we use His name  He tells us to, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” John 1:12 then tells me “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:”

Yes we as Christians must tell the world of Christ death, resurrection, and soon return. And most of all we must also be willing to follow Him all the way to the cross. This Mandate makes this contract binding. I don’t know about you but I will choose to follow Christ. Our Mission Statement for this contract must be

“I will run the race fighting the good fight standing on my faith I will hear the name of Jesus I will give Him all my life as for me no matter what the sacrifice I will follow Christ I don’t have to look across the ages His voice is speaking in my heart today His word is like a flame consuming all my shame His life a shining star to show the way I behold your life and see the man you want me to become living like someone who belongs to the kingdom that was sealed on Calvary I will show the world what I believe”(R. Smallwood)

Yes my friends! If you believe in the power and the name Jesus Christ and all that His name  symbolizes, and what His death on the cross meant to our salvation, and victory over sin, and Satan. Today if you are willing to focus through his word and Spirit and endure till the end, then the name of Jesus Christ will carry all of the power, and distinction needed to get us to the promise land which is His pure and holy kingdom.

For God raised Jesus from the dead, elevated Him to His right hand, and gave Jesus a name above “every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.” (Ephesians 1:21-23) also tells me “far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.”

My friends the power is ours only if we will serve Him. and through, His grace, love and the power of the cross today I can Say these words with complete confidence and hope my Friends you can do the same : Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me….I once was lost but now am found, Was blind, but now, I see. T’was Grace that taught…my heart to fear. And Grace, my fears relieved. How precious did that Grace appear…the hour I first believed. 

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
