NATURAL FREIGHT
NATURAL FREIGHT
As each second is freighted with unknown possibilities, so too is each person freighted with power.
Second. Possibility. Person. Power.
These four factors are our freight that we bear through life to its end.
Jesus said "Greater works that these can you do, for I go unto my Father." He was concerned with the least of these, not the greatest of these. He told the bleeding woman "your faith has made you whole." He told the paralytic man at the pool "Pick up your bed and walk." Many more "miracles" did he.
Each one was freighted by the four factors, second; possibility; person; power. Each one of us is similarly "freighted," divinely freighted to do what God would have us to do and to be what God would have us to be. Do your part , do your best, and the rest will take care of itself, by itself, by reason of your activities.
This, then, is my contribution to the "revolution:" whatever your object may be, perfect your activities and it will come to be by God's grace and mercy: magnified, multiplied. That is the natural freight of Jesus.
