A pupil is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher.
Luke 6:40
There is exactly one reason why we do not see miracles on the order of Jesus. We have not understood and applied His teachings.
This is not to question anyone’s authenticity in the Gospel, nor their sincerity, but the truth remains, that we as a church as a whole have fallen far short of the Gospel Jesus preached.
Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”
Matthew 14:31
John wrote in his first epistle that perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment (1 John 4:18). John explained that it is when we abide in love that we abide in God.
Nearly all of the gospel, and hence life, revolves around fear in some way in another. From the first time in the garden, when Adam and Eve knew they were naked, covered themselves, and hid from the presence of Almighty God. To the first murder, when Cain offered an unacceptable sacrifice, God warned him, and slew Abel out of jealousy.
You don’t have to live a life of anger. You don’t have to just accept it. Receive Jesus. Heed His warnings in Matthew 5:21-22. You’re in danger. Only Jesus saves. Live the life of Faith and, by obeying the truth, have your soul purified so you can actually love each other with a real, genuine, and love you can feel the warmth of. That’s what the goal of the gospel is… Faith expressing itself through Real love proceeding from a clean conscience… You can be free.
A pupil is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher.
