i usually dont post the same content on my tumblr AND my blogspot...but i felt compelled to share this quote on both the interwebs. (< is that a word?)
“we modern people think of miracles as the suspension of the natural order, but Jesus meant them to be the restoration of the natural order. the bible tells us that God did not originally make the world to have disease, hunger, and death in it. Jesus has come to redeem where it is wrong and heal the world where it is broken. His miracles are not just proofs that He has power but also wonderful foretastes of what He is going to do with that power. Jesus’s miracles are not just a challenge to our minds, but a promise to our hearts, that the world we all want is coming.”

i love how keller points us to the right posture we need to have with healing and miracles in general. miracles, powerful acts of God should never be the ends. it shouldnt terminate there with the act. we dont praise the miracle. we praise Jesus. it points us to Him and to the world that is to come.
