THE LINE OF FAITH














THE LINE OF FAITH


The people from
Jesus' home town
Did NOT believe in him


To them=he was a
POOR MAN=from a working
Class FAMILY


They were CHALLENGED by thinking
That he could NOT
Do anything for them


“Can anything good
Come from Nazareth?” John 1:46


They asked QUESTIONS like=
WHY should we PAY ATTENTION
To him?


What can he possibly
DO for me?


But we have CROSSED
The LINE OF FAITH
Into a different relationship
With Jesus


We know he is
A MIRACLE WORKER=we know
He can CHANGE OUR LIFE


We have CROSSED
The line of FAITH


We know he has
COME to change
The world


We know he has come
To HEAL the wounds
Of the world


“Have mercy on me Lord
For I am faint


HEAL me Lord
For my bones
Are in agony” Psalm 6:2


“Jesus called
His twelve disciples
To him


And gave them authority
To drive out
Impure spirits


And to HEAL
Every disease and sickness” Matthew 10:1


“When you enter a town
And are welcomed=
Eat what is
Offered you


HEAL the sick
Who are there
And tell them


'The kingdom of God
Has come near to you'” Luke 10:8-9


We have
CROSSED the line of FAITH=
To us
Jesus is
NOT just another common man


We have learned
That he is A MIRACLE WORKER
We have learned
That he has come
To conquer and HEAL
The wounds of the world


“When he had come near the place
Where the road goes down
The Mount of Olives=


The whole crowd of disciples
Began joyfully
To praise GOD


In loud voices
For all the MIRACLES
They had seen........” Luke 19:37


Dear Lord=we SEE
The great FATHER God in you=
We have CROSSED
The LINE OF FAITH


You are the HEALER and
MIRACLE WORKER=
Of the world


In Jesus' name=and in the name=of his LIVING-LOVING FATHER
