Ad text

Jesus healed the sick, raised the dead, gave eyes to the blind, ears to the deaf, fed 5,000 with a few loaves, walked on water, gave Peter a catch of fish that was impossible. Thousands witnessed miracles that only God could do. Yet when the cross came, only one disciple remained. John. Why? Because John understood what the others did not. Many followed Jesus for His power. John remained because he understood His purpose. Even Peter rebuked Christ when He spoke of His coming suffering. Peter loved Him, but he did not yet understand that redemption could not come through another miracle. It had to come through the cross. When Jesus said "Get thee behind me, Satan" He was rebuking the same mindset Satan presented in the wilderness during Christ fast "turn this stone into bread." Bypass the suffering, avoid the sacrifice, use power for convenience. That was their mind for God. But Christ did not come merely to display power. He came to fulfill what man never could. The cross was not defeat. It was victory. Many celebrated His miracles. Few understood His mission. And today, many want the blessings of God, yet cannot understand why the heirs of God are hated by the world. The world crucified the very God who created it. If they treated our Master this way, why should we expect better? John stood at the cross because his eyes were fixed on God's purpose, not man's expectations. The closer you get to the heart of God, the fewer people stand beside you. "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 Forsken & Despised #trending #foryoupage #truth #love #heaven
