He has power to restore and destroy everything in His creation. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isa.53.5&version=NIV 2009-07-17T08:33:45-05:00 Although Isaiah lived long before Jesus was born, this passage is a perfect description of the task Jesus would perform through his crucifixion: Jesus would take the punishment for our sins, and as a result we are restored. http://hutchcraft.com/a-life-that-matters/radio-program/trampling-people-9184 2009-02-05T13:52:40-05:00 It’s the kind of holiday story that made me feel sick in the pit of my stomach: out of control bargain-hunters stormed into a Long Island store on the day after Thanksgiving and trampled the worker at the door to death. Four other people were taken to the hospital with their injuries, including a woman eight months pregnant. Is it really that important to get a couple hundred dollars off a plasma screen? http://hutchcraft.com/a-life-that-matters/radio-program/a-clean-slate-for-a-new-year-8175 2009-02-05T13:40:34-05:00 I’ve been involved with a lot of families, hurting couples, hurting parents, hurting kids, hurting relationships over the years. So many marriages could have been saved, so many kids could have been saved, so many relationships, so many churches if someone could have just said those words, “I was wrong.” http://hutchcraft.com/a-life-that-matters/radio-program/the-vibe-you-send-8173 2009-02-05T13:38:14-05:00 ...sometimes we wonder why people seem to be ignoring us or not wanting to be around us. Maybe they’re just reading what we’re wearing. In other words, they’re responding to the vibe we seem to be broadcasting. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Hard-Times/Unexplainable-Changes-5636 2008-08-29T09:37:38-05:00 My friends whose addictions and appetite for what once addicted them were gone overnight, the people who were victims of serious hurt who don't see themselves as victims anymore - they're healers of other wounded people, those who were once sexually irresponsible who are living pure today, the volcanic tempers that Jesus has tamed, the sins of previous generations that have been miraculously stopped in this generation by Jesus. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/The-Same-Old-Baggage-5610 2008-07-21T11:47:20-05:00 Why does Jesus ask us if we want to get well? Because sometimes we're afraid to change. We've gotten used to playing the victim role, the loser role. We've settled into an identity that revolves around that same old baggage. Notice the man didn't just say "Yes." He responded with a nobody cares complaint. He's gotten used to being the guy with the problem, he was stuck in his victim identity, but Jesus acts miraculously and that man walks away carrying what had been carrying him for years. http://sermonindex.net/modules/articles/index.php?view=article&aid=247 2008-01-28T21:52:18-05:00 I believe the word of God is so powerful that it can transform any and every life. There is power in God's word to make that which does not appear to appear. There is executive power in the word that proceeds from His lips.
