Christ Is Enough. Scott Pauley

Christ is enough, the miracles of Jesus, what is the purpose of of Jesus' miracles, miracles in the Bible

In the face of physical pain, financial hardship, emotional distress, and spiritual conflict there is one truth that always brings faith and courage: Christ is enough.

Christ is more than enough, in fact, for every necessity or any difficulty. Whatever you are dealing with at this time or whoever you are trying to help, remember that divine resources are always sufficient and you have access to them through Jesus Christ.

The message of the whole Bible is one of divine sufficiency, but perhaps nowhere is this emphasis more fully seen than in the miracles of Jesus. I am excited about sharing some meditations from the miracles of Jesus with you over the next few weeks. Each miracle addresses a different need or circumstance but they all have one great message – Christ is enough!

On Monday we begin this brand new series on our Enjoying the Journey broadcast. You may listen on our website or on your favorite podcast player. I hope you will plan to join us for this extended study from the gospel records. It is our prayer that your faith will be strengthened for the days ahead. (This week we will offer a free resource download of a special Bible reading schedule for the miracles of Jesus.)

“And who is sufficient for these things?” (2 Corinthians 2:16). “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God” (2 Corinthians 3:5).

Now, I am no engineer! But the principle applies to us all: The easiest thing in the world is to have a complicated life. The hardest thing in the world is to have a simple life. You have to work hard to keep it simple.

You Have to Work Hard to Keep it Simple

The idea of building a monument was not that of Joshua, but of God. God instructed Joshua to have twelve men remove a stone from a prescribed place, place it on their shoulders and bear it up out of Jordan. It was to be taken to their place of lodging. What purpose could possibly be served in carrying twelve large river rocks approximately six or seven miles to Gilgal? God said to! In Joshua, we find that God is a monument builder. 

The Monument Builder

In the Second Boer War in South Africa, 13,000 British troops were trapped for 118 days in what is now known as the Siege of Ladysmith. Food diminished, and disease grew. Worst of all, discouragement set in. A civilian was arrested, tried, and sentenced to a year in jail for being a discourager! This man was not a traitor, but he walked around town and spoke discouraging things to men who were on guard against the enemy. The deepest wound you can inflict is to wound a person’s spirit (Proverbs 18:14). Image of the relief of the siege

The Power of Encouragement and the Peril of Discouragement 

In 2 Kings 5, we read a tale of three servants: Naaman, the Little Maid, and Gehazi. No matter your past, you can find healing like Naaman. Regardless of your circumstances, like the maid, God can bless and use you for eternity. Even if you have experienced great victory, you can fall into sin, just like Gehazi.
