Jesus Is Lord | Lord’s Day Sermon | 1st December, 2024 | Martin Obono

Why did Jesus perform the miracles He did? What was he trying to achieve when the gospel accounts tell of the compassion He had on the people when He fed thousands and healed multitudes of their infirmities. If Jesus objective in doing was not to merely meet a physical need, what else could He have been aiming at?

Jesus was trying to show not just His ability but His sufficiency. It was an expression of His deity; that He was able to meet these needs but more importantly, that He was God, their Lord. Jesus was underscoring His divinity. He is the bread of life and while He fed these thousands miraculously, His actual aim was to show that He was the true bread they needed; the bread that gives eternal life.

Deacon Martin Obono's sermon, predicated upon Jesus' disciples' stormy experience in Matthew 14:22-33, seeks to draw our hearts to the overarching aim of Jesus life and works on earth, to show that He Is Lord, not just over storms and life tough experiences, but over the hearts of men.
