WHY MARVEL? 04/21/2010
Why Marvel? Why did they marvel? Acts 3:1-11 What would we do if we saw miracles like this today? How would we act? Would we be prideful or arrogant? Would we look down on others? Think about it. Would we have a grateful heart? Would our souls be filled with humility? Or would we come up with excuses why and how it was done? Mark 8:10-13 Miracles then didn’t change those who saw them. They changed those who experienced them. Jesus would not give them a sign. The miracles all around them that they didn’t believe were the sign. This is true today also. The miracles we see everyday are our sign, but we have an attitude of we can take it or leave it, they don’t affect us. In the book of Acts they marveled at the works the disciples did, not at God. Acts 3:12-26 Peter got on to them. He knew that it wasn’t him, he knew of the glory of the Lord. He walked in His fullness. Romans 8:18 When we are in His fullness is when real miracles happen. When His glory is revealed in us. His glory! People don’t marvel at because they see us and not Him. Colossians 1:27 The mystery of the gentiles is that God had planned to reveal His glory through His Son in you and in us. 1 Corinthians 1:29-31 God will not share His glory with anyone. So, why would people marvel? All they see is us. God cannot perform miracles with half a person, they need to be full. (Full of Him and not self.) John 2:1-11 When Jesus turned the water into wine He told them to bring Him “full” vessels, not half full. We are His vessels and we need to be full of His living water so that He can turn it into the new wine. How can they marvel with a half filled vessel? There will be no miracles.
