On the Scene

Have you ever known someone that just lit the room up when they entered, they came on the scene and an ordinary occurence turned into maybe something maybe a little extraordinary? That's the way Jesus is. When He comes on the scene extraordinary happens. Jesus came to Peter's house, his mother was sick Jesus touched her and she got up and served them. He was on the scene and that evening many came to Him and were healed. He got into a boat along with His disciples and as they went across the lakea storm came up. They came to Him and woke Him up, He got up rebuked the winds and sea and it was calm. Then He came to the other side He met two men demon possessed and He cast them out of the men. He then crossed over to Capernaum His own city where a paralytic was brought to Him ,"Be of good cheer" Jesus told him, "your sins are forgiven, arise take up your bed and walk" and he got up and walked.
When Jesus comes, when He is on the scene, something is going to shake, something extraordinary is going to happen.
At that time, In His physical body he came on the scene physically and could only be at one place at a time. But now because He went away and left us the Comforter and Counselor the Holy Spirit, He is present with us and in us, Always available to us. He is on the scene. That in itself is THE extraordinary thing about Him, He came to this earth to give us life abundant and He never leaves us or forsakes us. John Wesley the great revivalist of the 18th century, uttered, on his death bed these last words. "above all He is with Me".
Jesus did, however, come to one place where He could not perform miracles and that was His hometown of Nazareth. They were familiar with Him. Say isn't that the son of Joseph the carpenter. Are you too familiar with Him? Maybe you have been exposed to Him and you just take Him for granted, He's that man in the Bible that you have heard about all of your life. I know Him we learned about Him in sunday school. Just familiar! He did those things then but he doesn't really do them now. If you will to Matthew and read about all of these things mentioned above you will see one common factor in the people that were healed or delivered. They believed! It was done according to their faith.
How about you, He has come and is on the scene are you just too familiar with Him or not at all. Do you take him for granted or just not concerned? Do you know Him or just know of Him?
