I imagine Jesus was a peculiar figure during His day. I am sure there had been a lot of people who had performed a lot of tricks to make a living. There may have been some who even staged incredible events for show. However, there was something different in Jesus – He did what He did to provide the recipient with an advantage. Jesus never did great feats for monetary gain, He did it to show how much He cared for those who needed help. His miracles were not used to buy something from someone nor even solicit a donation to His cause. His willingness to help seemed to come from two points of reference: first, they proved He was who He claimed to be and, second, they brought a blessing to the recipient. Jesus didn’t sell Himself – He gave of Himself for the benefit of others. Interestingly, this didn’t stop when it appeared the deck was stacked against Him. His final act before His death was His most selfless – He died so that we might live. Have you given much thought to our app
