Who performs the miracles?
Did you know that Jesus never
did any miracles? According to
Peter, God did miracles, won-
ders, and signs through Jesus.
(Acts 2:22) When Jesus walked
on water, or healed sick people,
or even raised dead people, Peter
said it was actually God doing
these things through his son,
Jesus Christ.
Although Jesus was the Son of ing to be a man, but God actual-

Lord directs you to do.
It’s not probable that God will
direct you to walk on water, so he
will not empower you to do that
(If he wants you to walk on
water, he will give you the need-
ed power.) It is probable, how-
ever, that he will direct you love

that indicate that he never used
his own divine powers while on
earth. He said that he never did
anything that the Father did not
tell him to do. He never said
anything that the Father did not
tell him to say. He actually said
that he could do nothing by him-
self! (John 5:30)
When Jesus Christ left heaven
to become the baby in the
manger, he laid aside not only his
glory as a part of the triune God,
but he laid aside his divine pow-
ers as well. He chose to live as
one of us humans, with no more
power than we except for the
power the heavenly Father would
impart to him to do his will.

God pleaser or people pleaser?
Dear Respectfully Yours,
I am constantly trying to
please everyone. I do things I
know I shouldn’t just to please
people. Later, I feel guilty and
regret what I’ve done. I want
to do what’s right but some
people make me feel bad if I
don’t agree with them and I
am afraid I will lose their .
friendship. I have a hard time
telling them the truth about
how I feel because of how they
might feel after I tell them. If I
lie, I’m still doing what I don’t
want to do. Help!
RESPECTFULLY YOURS

It’s not pleasing to God if you

we are rewarded!

“We who are strong ought to

Please others only for their
good. God is pleased when we
help others!
Please God, please authority,
please those in need and then,
indeed, please yourself.
