More Than Miracles
In the readings for this day, God is busy feeding people in a famine from jars of meal and oil that never give out. God is busy bringing life to the dead through Elijah and Jesus. The miracles are amazing. But miracles can distract us from the message. Miracles tell us about God. They reveal answers to questions we ask about God’s will and ways. Does God love all people or just Christians? Who goes to heaven? Who goes to hell? The miracles today give us a glimpse into the God who will not be bound by our rules and boundaries.
