~ Jesus Is
Thankful ~
Scripture ~ Jesus said to
her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of
God?” 41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the
dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank
You that You have heard Me. 42 And I know that You always
hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they
may believe that You sent Me.” 43 Now when He had said these
things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” 44 And
he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face
was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him, and let him go.”
(John 11:40-44)
33 Then His disciples said to Him, “Where could we get enough bread
in the wilderness to fill such a great multitude?”
34 Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?”
And
they said, “Seven, and a few little fish.”
35 So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. 36 And
He took the seven loaves and the fish and gave thanks, broke them and
gave them to His disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitude. 37 So
they all ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets full of the
fragments that were left. 38 Now those who ate were four
thousand men, besides women and children. 39 And He sent away
the multitude, got into the boat, and came to the region of Magdala. (Matthew
15:33-39)
26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.”
27 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all
of you. 28 For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is
shed for many for the remission of sins. 29 But I say to you, I
will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I
drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.” (Matthew 26:26-29).
17 Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons
are subject to us in Your name.”
18 And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and
scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means
hurt you. 20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the
spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written
in heaven.”
21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, “I thank
You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things
from the wise and prudent and
revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. 22 All
things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is
except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal
Him. (Luke 10:17-22)
