From Sunday, 10-17-10, "Is The Great Physician In?" with Pastor Greg Sidders. Part 5 of, "The Jesus Encounter" // If you've been following the Jesus Encounter reading plan, you've seen him do some pretty amazing things. You've watched leprous infections disappear, paralyzed legs walk, withered hands open, blind eyes see, deaf ears hear, and dead people rise. Hopefully the eyewitness accounts of those miracles have given you confidence that Jesus is indeed the Way, the Truth and the Life. // But there comes in time in all our lives when the miracles of Jesus can be disillusioning--and that is when we need one, but can't find a way to get Jesus to do today what he did when he walked the earth. // Was that God's plan? To do miracles in the past only to point us to the one who can give us a better future? Or is he still performing miracles in the present? We'll find a clear answer to that question in our encounter with Jesus this Sunday. I'm praying that what you learn will fill you with hope as you follow Jesus in this not-yet-healed world. ~ Pastor Greg Sidders
