What sign can you do?

John 6:30-35 If I wasn't in the same boat as these sinners following Jesus I would probably be laughing right in their face. I often wonder how Jesus kept from rolling on the grass laughing at what some people do. Today we hear the crowd ask Him, "What sign can you do, that we may see and believe in you? What can you do?..." Is this not the same crowd who in verse 2 we are told - "followed him, because they saw the signs he was performing on the sick ."? Are these not the same people who in verse 14 " when they saw the sign he had done, they said, "This is truly the Prophet, the one who is to come into the world."? Yet still they seek a sign. However, they are not seeking a sign so that they might believe, they are wanting to be fed. Jesus worked a "sign" with the loaves and the fishes and now they want Him to do it again. Wisely, Jesus is using their bellies to get to their hearts; He is using earthly things to move them,

Dig Two Graves

I was listening to a country station on the way to work this morning. They carry a program called "Rise Up" that focuses on God and all that He does in our life. They played the Alan Jackson song that I associate with my Grandpa and it brought tears to my eyes.

Then they played this song and I nearly had to pull over. It reminded me so much of how my grandparents loved one another and how my grandpa suffered from his loss over the past 9 months. Grab a tissue or two and listen. It's called Dig Two Graves by Randy Travis.
