What is the miracle worker about trial#
I feel obligated to write about this as a result of the trial of the young man in Wisconsin who was acquitted in the killing of two people during the civil unrest in Kenosha. It was the same advice that I passed on to my kids when they were teenagers and out of our protective sight. It was my father’s concern for our well-being and his good advice that I followed during my adolescent years.

We would often hear at school, following a weekend, that some of our classmates had gotten into serious trouble from not heeding or hearing caring, parental guidance. The consequences were clear when not heeding his sage counsel, which could be the loss of the car and being grounded. He would reinforce his statement by telling us that he and other family members would have peace of mind knowing we would be home before that time. This could be caused by drugs/alcohol or outside influences, driving some individuals to act without thinking of the consequences of their bad decisions, especially under the cover of darkness. The second piece of wise advice was, “Be home by midnight because nothing good happens after that time.” My dad would reinforce this by explaining that we will encounter situations where people may ignore their better judgment when dealing with social pressures. Be careful, be smart – what we did or said had consequences. When I was a teenager growing up in Front Royal, my father would tell me and my sister two things before we went out on the town: “First, remember it takes years to grow a tree and only minutes to cut it down.” He told us the tree was like a reputation that takes a long time to build and only one foolish, thoughtless action or word to destroy. Well, Jesus knows us through and through because he created us! Could it be then, that he doesn’t love us as we are but for what we have the potential to become as the result of the workings of a wondrous miracle of God or more pointedly, from “the touch of the Master’s hand?” It’s been said that to love someone you must get to know them. So, can you possibly fathom that God yes, Almighty God, the Heavenly Father, in order to “win back” his lost love, came “courting” to regain what was lost to him? Remember that the Scriptures say, “God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son.” Truly, he must be saying, “Be Mine!” Believe and follow me and I will give you the water of life and you will never thirst again and the bread of life and you will never be hungry again and not only will you never die, I will never leave you nor forsake you! For he said “I am God and not man!” So in his perfect love he loves us IN SPITE OF our sinfulness and unworthiness. Well, only God could do either one! Jesus said further that he said what he did in order that “…you might know that the Son of Man has the power on earth to forgive sin,” saying, in effect, I am God!īut how could God give his life for mankind who, having spurned his love in the Garden Of Eden, continues to reject him to serve other Gods? Well, God says it’s not about us (who are as filthy rags in his sight therefore, nothing to love) but all about him. Jesus said that he was doing things that no man had ever done before, which helps people understand that he was saying that he was God saying “If you can’t believe my words, believe for my works’ sake!”Īs God, Jesus could say, “I am the light of the world, and he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” And further, that he would lay down his life for his sheep indicating the path he would take in order to bestow eternal life to his sheep.īeing God, Jesus could ask when healing the man with palsy, “Which is easier to say, your sins be forgiven you, or take up your bed and walk?” The Jews had just remarked that God alone can forgive sins. Not only did he make it disappear, he turned it into wine! Miracles? I immediately thought about Jesus, the greatest miracle worker of all the ages. Seeing the words, “I make beer disappear” on a man’s shirt, I asked him if he worked miracles since he was able to make beer disappear, and he replied that all he did was put it in his tummy and his tummy did the rest.
