A Miracle for Now!

Mark 6:53-56KJV

53 And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore. 54 And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him, 55 And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was. 56 And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.

Gennesaret – Galilee

V 53 Jesus and His disciples had crossed over the Sea of Galilee from the northeast to the west (cf. v. 45) and anchored (moored) at Gennesaret, a fertile, populous plain (two miles wide and four miles long), south of Capernaum on the northwestern shore of the lake. Rabbis called this plain “the Garden of God” and “a paradise.” A small town there was also called Gennesaret.

They came to Galilee and as soon as they were able to get the boat to the shore there was excitement among the people! Where has our excitement gone?

Matthew 18:18-20NASB95

18     “Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven. 19 “Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. 20 “For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.”


V54 When they got out of the boat they immediately knew who Jesus was!

V55 And RAN they didn’t sit idly by and watch what was going on they RAN through the WHOLE region the WHOLE AREA to get anyone who was sick and bring them to Him! They came expecting a miracle! They didn’t just hope for one they KNEW that miracles were going to happen!

V56

Where have the people gone to the ones expecting the ones coming expecting to see something happen? Are we no longer looking for a miracle?

We must start expecting and we will see His Awesome Power!

Acts 5:12-16NASB95

12     At the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were taking place among the people; and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s portico. 13 But none of the rest dared to associate with them; however, the people held them in high esteem. 14 And all the more believers in the Lord, multitudes of men and women, were constantly added to their number, 15 to such an extent that they even carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on cots and pallets, so that when Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on any one of them. 16 Also the people from the cities in the vicinity of Jerusalem were coming together, bringing people who were sick or afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all being healed.
