4 Facts -- God

Mark 1:29-34 And immediately after they came out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. Now Simon's mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever; and immediately they spoke to Jesus about her. And He came to her and raised her up, taking her by the hand, and the fever left her, and she waited on them. When evening came, after the sun had set, they began bringing to Him all who were ill and those who were demon-possessed. And the whole city had gathered at the door. And He healed many who were ill with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He was not permitting the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.



Mark 6:35-44 By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came to him. "This is a remote place," they said, "and it's already very late. Send the people away so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat." But he answered, "You give them something to eat." They said to him, "That would take eight months of a man's wages! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?" "How many loaves do you have?" he asked. "Go and see." When they found out, they said, "Five—and two fish." Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass. So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them all. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish. The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand.



Mark 16:1-8 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus' body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, "Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?" But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. "Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, 'He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.' " Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.

For me i think [this] shows how powerful God is. it also tells me that he really is the creator of the whole universe. Only the creator can destroy, repair or rebuild what he has done since he knows every part of his work and knows what actually is the problem. This is shown through the miracle that Jesus did in healing simon's mother in law's fever Mark 1:29-34 . Obviously there is something wrong with one part of simon's mother in law, that is her temperature is higher than normal. what Jesus did was he just took her by the hand and raised her and the fever left her.

If it was a doctor he or she would give her anti pyretic drugs but, it takes time for the temperature to return to normal. But for Jesus he just hold her hand and she got well. This proves that God is the creator + he is a very powerful God above all Gods and no other Gods is greater than him or wiser or worthy to be praised.

It was through Jesus that God proved that he is the creator and the most powerful God above all Gods and that nothing is impossible to him, not only this it also proves that Jesus is truly the son of God. This shown through the feeding of the Five thousand men with Five loaves of bread and 2 fish Mark 6:35-44 . It's so amazing and unbeleivable but, thats how Powerful God is.
