Son of man (Matt.9:27)

instead of the Son of God

instead of the King of the
Jews ( Matt. 26:69; John

made the cripples to
walk, restored speech

hearing to the deaf,
eyes to the blind, raised
the dead. (Acts10:38)

ordinary people like
Lazaraus (Jn. 25:2)

His perfect power
Are you simple like Jesus or an attention seeker in your Church. Do you boast or brag to people? Do you talk to impress, dress to catch the eye, or do things to steal the show in the house of God. Can you admit complexity than simplicity. Are you truly simple like Jesus? Take all Church members on your heart.
Lesson.
------------
The world needs your divine simplicity as Jesus. So come down from your haughty heights and have a human face and a human touch in your relationships.
