Three things amazed Jesus and one didn’t. The faith of the Canaanite woman and the Roman centurion — both foreigners — amazed him, as also did the unbelief of his own people. What did not were the endless numbers of physical healings that God his Father did through him of organic sicknesses, personal injuries and bondages due to demonic oppression and possession.
Quality-wise, the wine he created at the wedding reception in Cana was better than refined wine. And the creation of eyeballs made from clay and moisturised by the Lord’s saliva that brought sight to the man born blind was “without precedent in the history of the world” (John 9:32).
Quantity-wise, “great multitudes followed Jesus, and he healed them all” (Matthew 12:15). Then there was the miracle multiplication of the five loaves and two fish, which satisfied the hunger of 5,000 people, with basketfuls of leftovers to spare.
All of which shows us that the fellowship between the Father and the Son was the greatest miracle of all. I would like to maintain the same depth of intimacy the Son had with his Father and the Father with His Son, and I’m sure that you would too.
The amazing thing is that 1 John 1:3 tells us we can — and with each other, too. The close proximity and depth of intimacy of this fellowship is up to you and me; and the good news is that access is open to all who are in relationship with the Father through the Son and seek a closer fellowship with the Father and the Son.
Jesus prayed: “That they all may be one: as you Father are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you have sent me. And the glory which you gave me , I have given them; that they may be one even as we are one. I in you and you in me, that they may be perfect in one, even as we are one.” (John 17:21-23)
More than amazing!
