A 2-4,000 Pound Tombstone…

MIRACLES are _____

Fill in the blank…

Do you believe in miracles? Have you experienced a miracle? Have you asked for a miracle? 

Webster defines a MIRACLE; a surprising and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered to be the work of a “divine agency”.

“the MIRACLE of rising from the grave”

It seems even Webster recognizes miracles come from a “Divine Agency”.   They also reference “rising from the grave” as the example. 

We are approaching Easter and the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.  He was laid in a tomb.  The stone that was rolled away was estimated between 2000-4000 pounds.  No human could budge it.  An empty tomb!  A miracle!

I believe in miracles!  I know they occur every single day all around us. 

COINCIDENCE is defined by Webster; a remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection.

“they met by COINCIDENCE”

Compared to a miracle, a coincidence is fairly uninspiring.  The example used is also pretty underwhelming.  Maybe, that is due to the absence of a “Divine power” that Webster refers to in the definition of a miracle.  

Honestly, I don’t believe so much in coincidences.

Miracles bring hope.  Build faith.  Make life worth living!  Coincidences might make us ponder for a bit but they quickly fizzle out and are forgettable.  Miracles become inspiring stories that birth more stories and testimonies pointing to a “Divine Agency”…

Being alive, and the fact that each of us has a unique, identifiable fingerprint is a miracle. 

In this season of celebrating Easter, I want to give thanks to the One “Divine Agency”,  miracle making Creator, who gave His Son, Jesus Christ,  who laid down His life for me so I could be forgiven and free!  

He is alive in me, and I am a living miracle 💗
