With earthy praise we sing, “I stand amazed in the presence of Jesus the Nazarene.” That town in the region of west Galilee was the arm pit of Israel in the early years of Jesus. Do you remember how they tried to through Him off a cliff there? John the Baptist declared that he was unworthy to tie the shoes of Jesus. As John the Baptist looked at Jesus on day, he exclaimed, “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, John 1:29.” From the beggar of Jericho, blind Bartimaeus, to the stinker in Bethany, 3 days dead Lazarus Jesus Christ did the supernatural. The miracles expelled doubt about who Jesus really was. Note one of the disciples said it this way, “Thou are the Christ, Son of the living God. The Father voiced these words from the heavens above, “this is my well beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased... listen to Him.” |
