Beyond Reason by Greg Holmes, D.MIN – Director of Missions serving 17 churches
THERE IS A MIRACLE that occurs early in Jesus’ ministry, shortly after he called the first disciples. Already he had performed an exorcism in the synagogue in Capernaum, in front of all assembled there. “All the people were amazed and said to each other, ‘What is this teaching? With authority and power he gives orders to evil spirits and they come out!’” (Luke 4:36) He had given a miraculous catch of fish to one of his very first disciples, Peter, who “fell at Jesus’ knees and said, ‘Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!’” (Luke 5:8) After healing a man from leprosy, “Jesus ordered him, ‘Don’t tell anyone.’ Yet the news about him spread all the more, so that crowds of people came to hear him and to be healed.” (Luke 5:14-15)
