One Year Bible: May 13

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.
