JUDGES 6:17 (CEB)
Then Gideon said to him, "If I’ve gained your approval, please show me a sign that it’s really you speaking with me."
JOHN 3:2 (NCV)
One night Nicodemus came to Jesus and said, “Teacher, we know you are a teacher sent from God, because no one can do the miracles you do unless God is with him.”
THE ESSENCE
The things Jesus did backed up the claims he made. He's believable.
DAILY FODDER
Nicodemus is an impresive figure because he noticed what Jesus was doing, figured out what it meant, went to Jesus for clarity, and ultimately aligned himself with Jesus — even when that meant going against his own group.
PRAYER
Jesus, I honor you for the consistency between your words and your actions. No one is as together as you. Forgive us for lining up behind the masters of hubris in our world. Show us how to change our minds and put ourselves 100% behind you. Apart from your mercy and the ongoing action of the Holy Spirit, that's not possible. Even that is a miracle that draws me closer to you. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
