Acts 3- And he began to give them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.
Deuteronomy 17-18- I will raise up a prophet from among their countrymen like you, and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him.
Job 12-With Him are wisdom and might...
Acts 5.27-32-And we are witnesses of these things...

I will rise up from among you and My presence will surprise you.

Jesus comes to us. Jesus comes to us from among us. Jesus' presence surprises us. Jesus is a gift and unexpected surprise. Jesus leaps into our lives when we least expect it. The beggar at the temple saw Jesus power through Peter. A surprise. The crippled beggar gave his attention and expected to receive something. What he got was way beyond any physical healing. He received Jesus. A surprise from among him that day. God promised a prophet long ago. A prophet from among us. A prophet and a Savior who God chose to speak through. A prophet with wisdom and might. A prophet that will rise up from among us and save us. He raised Jesus up from among us. Jesus presence surprised the world and we didn't know how to handle the surprise. Today we are witnesses to this surprise. Jesus is among us and His presence with us will continue to surprise us day after day.

I will rise up from among you and My presence will surprise you. Look around today and see His presence with and among us. Thanks be to God!

Jesus, you are here. You are here in our midst. Beautiful in Your glory. You have risen among us and walk with us and are in us. ---Amen
