do you ever just think about Jesus living here on earthÂ
i think sometimes we tend to think He just bounced from one miracle to another and everyday was a Bible story but His ministry lasted for three years and the Gospels donât actually cover that much so
imagine all those ordinary days??Â
He probably had favorite foods and morning routines and sore dirty feet from walking while sweat ran in His eyes in the hot Judean sun and He got blisters and hiccups and colds and maybe He snoredÂ
all the times He laughed till He cried and i bet He had inside jokes with His disciples. imagine having an inside joke with the person who gives you breath to laugh in the first placeÂ
and He had human skills He knew how to build a house and cook and wash his clothes and readÂ
passing food at the dinner table and bumping hands with JesusÂ
talking about silly inconsequential things like the weatherÂ
maybe some nights John was sleepy and he leaned against Jesus and could hear His heartbeatÂ
maybe some nights a disciple had insomnia and he climbed out of his bedroll to find Jesus sitting against a rock, looking up at heaven, and they sat and watched the stars togetherÂ
(the God of the universe looking up through short-sighted eyes at His creation, and the disciple wants so badly to ask what it was like to shape each star, but he looks at those calloused human hands and something in him trembles)Â
do you ever think that the ordinary days so far outnumbered the miraculous ones that the disciples, sometimes, almost forgot
and then He goes and turns water into wine and feeds five thousand people from a kidâs lunch and brings dead Lazarus walking alive out of the tomb and they just kind of lose their breath
not because they didnât expect deity to accomplish the impossible but because this God has been living with them
itâs not the miracles that are unthinkable
