"Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for me?"
-Jeremiah 32:27
Jesus went through cities sharing God's word and performing miracles to crowds of people. One of teachings which has been called "The Sermont On The Mount" is a famous teaching by Jesus. In his teaching, he says, ""Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." (Matthew 5:3-12) One of the things that Jesus is known for even by those who aren't Christians is his miracles. The best part about his miracles weren't necessarily the miracles themselves but who they were done to. They were performed on people who were considered sinners and unclean. From turning water into wine to casting out demons from people, he performed numerous miracles. In one miracle, Jesus and his followers visit the town of Bethsaida. At first it was quiet, but soon "the crowds learned about it and followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing." (Luke 9:11) It got so late that one of the disciples suggested that they send the crowds into the villages. Jesus asked if they had any food and they revealed that they only had 5 loaves of bread and two fish. Jesus holds the fish and bread towards heaven, thanking God for what He has given them and starts feeding the crowd. They even have leftovers. This demonstrates how Christ can do so much with what may seem so little. What can he do with what you bring to him?
