There is a popular song with a simple yet deeply profound message: “This Jesus I have seen is enough for me.” It goes on to say, “This Jesus I have held is enough for me.”
But as I studied the Scriptures, particularly in Acts of the Apostles, where the great miracle in Joppa occurred, the question shifted. It was no longer about whether I had held or encountered Jesus. Instead, it became: What have I done with the One I have held?
In Acts 9:39, we read:
“So Peter rose and went with them. When he arrived, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood around him, weeping and showing the tunics and other garments that Dorcas had made while she was still with them.”
It is so easy to become consumed with our own needs and requests that we forget this truth: Jesus’ answers to our prayers. His visits to us are not an end in themselves. They are invitations. He is asking, “What have you received that you take it out there?” Because what you carry might be the very miracle someone else is believing for. Your journey could ignite hope in another.
When this woman, Dorcas (Tabitha), encountered Jesus, it is clear she knew Him as her Source and Provider. The Bible does not tell us whether she was wealthy or where her resources came from. But it tells us enough: she had a heart willing to care for others. Her love was expressed through action—so much so that her works spoke for her even after her death.
She had seen Jesus in a certain light, and she chose to let others experience that same light through her life.
“This much I have received. I want others to partake of it.”
If we have encountered Him as our Light, then we must remember: there is a world in deep darkness that needs that light.
If you have seen His protection, can you extend that assurance to someone who is afraid?
If you have seen Him make a way, can you testify: “There was a time I felt all hope was lost—but that was the beginning of my deliverance.”
I have seen Jesus, and I do not want to see Him alone. I want the world to see Him through every part of me.
God gives, and gives, and keeps giving—all so He can draw us closer to Himself. John 3:16 is the summary of His greatest gift:
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son…”
The voice of Elohim is echoing within us:
“Come, let Me show you how to love this way.”
You have seen My love manifested in your life—now become an extension of who I am:
His wisdom
His grace
His love
His peace
All these we now carry because we have first seen them in Him.
Today, God is saying:
“Show the world the Jesus you have seen.”
Stay revived!
