After all,” they said, “would you expect the Messiah to do more miraculous signs than this man has done?”
John 7:31
To read today’s portion of scripture, you can purchase The One Year Bible or find the following in your Bible:
1 Samuel 14:1-52
John 7:31-53
Psalm 109:1-31
Proverbs 15:5-7
That’s a good question. Who could (or would) do more than Jesus had done? Who could top the healings, the feedings, the teachings that He did?
I love the list David Guzik compiled for this. Here’s what he had to say about this passage:
“It is fair to ask, who has done more than Jesus? If Jesus isn’t the Messiah, then when Messiah comes, will he…
· Do more miracles than Jesus?
· Teach with more insight and authority than Jesus?
· Love more remarkably than Jesus?
· Suffer with more courage than Jesus?
· Atone for more sinners than Jesus?
· Raise from the dead with more triumph than Jesus?
· Ascend to heaven in greater glory than Jesus?
· Present a greater Gospel than Jesus?
· Change more lives than Jesus?
· Free more addictions than Jesus?
· Comfort more grief-stricken hearts than Jesus?
· Heal more broken hearts than Jesus?
· Restore more marriages than Jesus?
· Triumph over more tyrants than Jesus?
· Gain more followers than Jesus?
None of this is possible. No one can do more than Jesus did, and He deserves all our confidence, life, and faith as Messiah.
