The Lord Worked Through Them

Scripture:

Mark 16:20 "And the disciples went everywhere and preached, and the Lord worked through them, confirming what they said by many miraculous signs."

Observation:

After Jesus was crucified, buried and resurrected, He went to His Father.  When He went to the Father, He let his disciples to carry His message to the world.  He also left them with the power of the Holy Spirit and He worked through them to get the message to the world.  He is still doing the same today.

Application:

When we teach and preach about Jesus, we can expect signs confirming what we say.  Signs help people to see that the Jesus we are preaching is the same Jesus as in the Bible.  If signs are not following our ministries, we need to check into why.  We should ask God to confirm His word with signs so that people's faith isn't in the wisdom of man, but in the power of God.

Prayer:

Father, I offer myself to You.  Jesus, work through me by doing miraculous signs.  I want to get Your message to the ends of the earth, but I need Your help to do it.  Bring signs and wonders back to Your church so that we can effectively communicate Your truth.

Yours,
Jeff
