My Comfort Is Jesusनमूना

Can You Imagine?

Do you ever imagine what it would have been like during the time Jesus walked in Galilee? Imagine hearing his gracious words as he taught in the synagogues, as he preached the gospel of the kingdom, and as he healed all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people. What a joy it must have been to see sick people and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics receive complete healing. What would it have been like to see a dead person, surrounded by mourners, suddenly raised from the dead? Tears of joy must have flowed like a river.

Even though we can only imagine what it must have been like to be there, we have the next best thing: the precious set of writings called the New Testament, which tells us what Jesus both did and taught. We are privy, like a fly on the wall, to intimate conversations and behind-the-scenes happenings with Jesus and his disciples—in meticulous detail.

Father, thank you for your wonderful Word. Never let me doubt so much as one syllable.
