“The Impossible” Blog #62
Why is it important to have Faith? What does it matter if I believe or don’t believe?
What is my Faith all about anyway? It’s nearly impossible to have faith without belief.
Then again, belief in what? Living, breathing, existing in this world every day…. alone?
Pretty scary. I have my life, some days are rewarding and others challenging. I admit, it’s
hard to understand Life. Day in and day out. Yet, now I feel I have evolved and found my
anchor, where everything else is secondary. Nothing makes a person more of a non-
believer then to push religion on a person living in a secular society filled with want and
their own choices. It can be a busy, cold, dark world out there, navigating in unchartered
waters……all alone.
I am going to tell a little story and let you take away from it what you will. This is a true
story about a young man who truly believed in the power of Love. HE made it possible to
believe in the “Impossible which only HE can do”.
This man had one thought in mind - He saw a cold dark world, getting darker. HE chose
to live by example and believed if he traveled around proving to others exactly how
powerful HIS love for us was, others might believe as well. So he set about finding twelve
friends to show and also give them the power of Love and why he believed in goodness,
forgiveness and love above all else. For the most part, while traveling with his twelve
friends, HE went around day and night helping and healing people and HE did what
others would say was “the Impossible”.
This is a factual, chronological order of actual miracles this man did:
HE turned water into wine at a wedding. Then HE healed an officials son in Galilee from
dying. HE went on to drive out evil spirits from a Man in Capernaum. HE healed his friend;
Peters mother dying and sick with fever, and kept healing more sick.
HE cleansed a Man with Leprosy, HE healed a paralyzed servant, then another paralyzed
man, restored a withered hand, and then raised a woman’s son from the dead. (This is
more then ten so far.)
All of his disciples were frightened in a boat during a horrific storm, so HE calmed the sea
in front of them and then walked on water! Later they watched as HE cast out demons
into a herd of pigs!
HE healed another woman and brought someones daughter back to life! Moving on, HE
healed two blind men and went over to heal a man unable to speak! HE brought back to
health an invalid in Bethesda and fed 5000 people plus women and children from two
loaves of bread and some fish! (There were baskets left over.)
After this HE kept on healing more people who even touched his clothing, asking for help.
Showing others around him, HE took a demon out of a woman’s daughter, healed a deaf
and dumb man right in front of many, then HE fed another 4000 from barely nothing. By
spitting on the dirt and rubbing a blind mans eyes, he was restored to sight! Going from
town to town, HE healed a little boy with an unclean spirit. There was another
documented case of a woman who had been crippled for 18 years, HE healed her
instantly. From there HE cleansed ten lepers on his way to Juresalem. HE healed Lazarus,
his dear friend, who had been dead for days and no one knew what to say. When he
healed a man with dropsy on the Sabbath, this is where they got HIM. I guess it’s a big
crime to heal someone back to health on the Sabbath Day!? HE still went on to restore
sight to Bartimaeus in Jericho, even though they were closing in on him. Does this sound
like a wanted criminal?
HE knew HIS end was coming. HE was alone with his friends in a garden praying. Soldiers
came, then one of his twelve close friends deceived him and turned on him for 30
pierces of Silver. Yet, even to the very end when one of the other twelve defended him
and cut off a soldiers ear in the garden as HE was being taken away, HE restored the
soldiers ear! Can you believe this? A love so great as HIS.
It almost seems impossible, doesn’t it?
Today is Good Friday. On this day HE was tortured, hung on a cross, and died.
At the very end HE cried out, “Father forgive them for they know not what they do”.
One might wonder what is so Good about Good Friday? HIS goodness.All over the world
today, this is a very Holy day indeed. HE is the reason for my faith. In every way, it is
possible for me to believe IN HIM. Then in believing in HIS light, comes my faith. I feel safe.
Jesus Christ the Son of God heard Judas (HIS betrayer turn on him then commit suicide.)
All this for 30 pieces of silver. He went to Jesus to say, “Surely it is not I, Rabbi?” to which
Jesus answered; “YOU have said so”.
This man Jesus is crucified for being a criminal? Three days later, HE did raise from the
tomb and was NOT there. the tomb was torn open. The earth quaked, rocks were split,
tombs of others everywhere were opened and the bodies of many saints who had fallen
asleep were raised. The dead entered the Holy city and appeared to many. Soldiers
who kept watch over Jesus’ tomb feared greatly when they saw the earthquake and all
that was happening. They said:
“Truly this was the Son of God!”
Only HE makes possible the impossible. Have a Blessed, Happy Easter.
