The Greatest Miracles

Matthew 9:6-8 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, take your mat and go home.” Then the man got up and went home. When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God, who had given such authority to man. Everyone was following Jesus around, looking for a sign, a miracle. He did not disappoint. But whereas many were looking to have something to make life more pleasant, or for mere entertainment, Jesus had a greater miracle He wanted to perform: to forgive and transform lives, to bring change from the inside out. For many, that was too up close and personal. They wanted change in their bodies or their circumstances, but not necessarily in their hearts. The greatest miracles are often those we cannot see happen; we see the long-lasting, eternal results and glorify God.
