Money cannot buy peace with God or the forgiveness of sin. It is the gift of God received through faith. This is why Peter said to the lame man in Acts 3, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I have I give you: In the Name of Jesus Christ, rise and walk.”
Your day of deliverance
Jesus is in the boat so why be afraid?
Seeing Jesus asleep in the storm, the disciples thought He didn't care that they were perishing. But it was quite the opposite. Jesus wanted them to have faith in Him, to put their trust in His peace. All the time that Jesus was asleep, they were safe, because Jesus knew He would get to the other side of the lake. In your storm look to Jesus; put your faith in His peace; for if Jesus can be at rest in the midst of chaos, you can too.
The Power and Authority of Jesus
When the disciples came face-to-face with the real power and authority of Jesus, in amazement they said, ‘What Kind of Man is He?’ When they saw what He could do, they were shocked, they marvelled. There is no one like our God; His power is without limit! ‘O Lord God, You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness and Your mighty hand, for what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do anything like Your works and Your mighty deeds?’ (Deuteronomy 3:24)
Jesus never fails
God never fails; He cannot fail. Everything He does is a miracle. The day God fails, He is no longer God. It’s His character. He is the God of miracles! We all have many kinds of problems, many different needs, but I believe in miracles. Every act of God is a miracle, because a miracle is something man cannot do. Why did God send Jesus to earth? To prove He has power on earth to forgive sin and heal the sick.
Cheer up! God has Power
Jesus, the Son of God, was a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief, rejected by men; yet He had so much power, not just power in heaven, but power on earth. Why did God sent His Son alone into a world which would kill Him? To demonstrate two things: firstly, that He had power on earth to heal the sick, and secondly, that He could forgive sin. This is why He could say to the paralytic, “Be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you: arise, take up your bed and walk!”
