After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There he was transfigured before them.  His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.  Matthew 17:1-4

Jesus’ countenance changed in an unearthly way. He appeared like he will in heaven while he was still on earth.

As he (Jesus) approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it.’” Those who were sent ahead found it just as he had told them. As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?”  They replied, “The Lord needs it.” They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it. As he went along, people spread their cloaks on the road. Luke 19:29-36 

Not only did Jesus know the colt would be sitting there, he knew the owners would let the donkey go without payment if they said Jesus needed it. This is crossing the barriers of time and space along with preparing the owners minds to just let them take the colt to Jesus without paying anything. Did you catch that the colt had never been ridden? Somehow Jesus related to the colt’s mind that it was okay to have someone on his back. Another miracle!

He (Jesus) is the maker of the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the constellations of the south. He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted. Job 9:9-11 (The Orion is a prominent constellation during winter in the northern celestial hemisphere. It is one of the eighty-eight modern constellations; it was among the forty-eight constellations listed by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy. It is named for a mythological hunter in Greek mythology. The Pleiades are a dazzling cluster of stars in the constellation Taurus, visible to the naked eye on clear nights.)

I love looking at the night sky. The making of the constellations is unbelievable, but he also made the earth, other planets and all of creation as we know it. Including US! If you want to know more about His miracles, search “Bible Gateway” where there is a list of forty-two miracles of Jesus throughout His lifetime on earth.

Prayer: Dear Father in Heaven, open our hearts to believe our Savior, Jesus. Thank you for the people that talked about seeing these miracles. Jesus was God on earth as God’s son and gave His life for us. Amen.
