THERE'S JUST SOMETHING....

Jesus.  Jesus.  Jesus.

The name of Jesus spread far and wide .  "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" (John 1:46)

Just the mention of his name seemed to get attention of folks.  Many didn't understand him.  Many who had not physically met him wanted to.  Jesus made a difference in lives.  He still makes a difference today.

Ask the blind man who was blind but was then made to see.

Ask the lame man who couldn't walk but went running and leaping.

Ask the widow of Nain and Jarius, whose children were dead but lived again.

Ask the woman who knew she only had to touch the hem of his garment to be healed.

Ask Mary, Martha, and Lazarus what Jesus did for them.

Ask any of those 5000+ hungry people on that hillside how delicious those loaves and fishes were to their hungry selves.

Ask Zacchaeus how he felt after Jesus went home with him.

And so many more whose lives were touched by Jesus.  Jesus.  Jesus.

I will even go a bit further and say to ask my friend who spent the last two weeks and more fighting fevers, even up to 105.6, caused by the silent virus we fight right now.  Ask her what a difference Jesus makes in her life.

And I will say you can ask this blog writer about the difference Jesus makes in hers.  There's not enough space of time to tell you all.  For sure, this blog writer is grateful to know Jesus as a friend, a hope, a Savior and Lord.

The words of a popular Gaither song say it well:

"Jesus, Jesus, Jesus;
There's just something about that name.
Master, Savior, Jesus,
Like the fragrance after the rain.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
Let all Heaven and earth proclaim.
Kings and kingdoms will all pass away
But there's something about that name."

Consider.....
