Don't miss the Signs_02 Mark 8:10-13;Matt. 16:1-4 So what we have here in Mark 8 isn't just a retelling of Mark 6. It's a retelling of Exodus 16 and of 2 Kings 4 and all the other times throughout the Bible when God provided for his people. What Jesus is doing is proving he's from God and, more deeply, that he is God.Jesus didn't perform a new kind of miracle with these four thousand. He didn't intend to. What he intended to do was to do for this crowd what he's done for so many throughout history. He intended to tie this event in with the whole witness of Scripture that screams to us all: God cares for his people!It looks like a season of hopelessness, despair, and want in America today, but there is a season of Change that God wants you and me to walk into. It doesn't have to stay the way it was. I'm going to begin to walk not only in the promises of God, but also in the will of God so I can begin to see some raw materials become the miracles that I've been praying for. When the seasons of our lives change, so should some of the stuff that we are doing.Just as there are signs in the physical realm, there are also signs in the spiritual arena. Those signs are even more important that the signs in the physical world. You can miss a sign or two here and things will probably turn out fine. But, if you miss too many spiritual signs, you might end up in Hell.You will end up in deep trouble with the Lord.The only thing you need for this story to become your story is to want Jesus. When you come to Christ with empty hands of faith, he turns to you in compassion and fills them to the brim.On the cross, Jesus satisfied God's wrath to satisfy our need of forgiveness.
