Limitless Magnitude

“Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.” - John 21:25


We have all heard the phrase, “You can’t put God in a box.” We say this to reaffirm the power of God. The question is do we believe this? As humans, we often try to limit God which causes us to lose the fear of the LORD (Proverbs 1:7). How quickly we forget everything the LORD has done in our lives. In life things happen that breed lies into our minds that make us start to question God. This typically happens because we have unbiblical expectations of God. In our minds we start to create boundaries for God and begin to not believe that he is able to do far more abundantly than all we can ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).


Are you a purposeful person? We are designed to crave fulfilling a purpose. Often times though, we search far and wide to find our purpose but end up empty. That is why when we find our purpose and meaning in Jesus Christ everything changes. As we see in John 21:25 Jesus was on a mission. Throughout the book of John he constantly states his purpose is to do the will of the Father. He didn’t waste time, everything he did had a purpose and everything he said was purposeful.


Have you ever thought about the limitless magnitude of Jesus Christ? The size or extent of the Jesus’s life is limitless and it continues to multiply today. You can’t contain Jesus, he reaches the unreachable, he touches the untouchable. That is our God, our King, our Savior. Jesus continues to do things. Each and every day you walk through this world our God is at work in the lives of people. Not everything may be written down in books but it is written on hearts.


Today I encourage you to taste and see that the LORD is good (Psalm 34:8). Remember your personal experiences with Christ and watch and see Jesus working in the lives of people. Write down what you see, try to record what you see Jesus doing and you will start to see the limitless magnitude of God.
