Look, you can see right through that butterfly!!! Amazing, isn't it???
On seeing this, I asked myself: What if someone could see right through
ME? It is possible, because Jesus is able to do this!!! Again,
AMAZING!!! But, there is far more to him than just this- read on...
Matthew 9:1-8 NASB
(1) Getting into a boat, Jesus crossed over the sea and came to His own city.
(2) And they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, "Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven."
(3) And some of the scribes said to themselves, "This fellow blasphemes."
(4) And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, "Why are you thinking evil in your hearts?
(5) "Which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up, and walk'?
(6) "But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins"--then He *said to the paralytic, "Get up, pick up your bed and go home."
(7) And he got up and went home.
(8) But when the crowds saw this, they were awestruck, and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

Jesus had the power on Earth, not only to heal, but to forgive sins.
And the Scribes didn't like it one bit!!! Instead of glorifying God and
accepting him for who he was, they thought evil about Jesus. Miracles
are great, they show the power of God!!! Beyond the visible is the
invisible realm, where God can look right through you and see the
condition of your soul. Don't wait until the last moment to clean up
your life (and of course your soul). Do it now!!! Jesus awaits- obey him
by accepting him for who he really is and changing your life and begin a
new one by putting him on in baptism. You know, it just occurred to
me- if you clean up the inside and God dwells there- then the pure
light of God can shine for all the world to see. My prayer for you today
is just this- that you may be invisible so that others can see God in
you!!! And you just may be the only Gospel message someone may ever be
able to appreciate in their entire life!!!!
