AMAZING

“They were amazed at His (Jesus) teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.”  Mark 1:22

“All the crowds were amazed and were saying, ‘This man cannot be the Son of David, can He?'” Matthew 12:23

Verse after verse in the Bible, the word “AMAZED” is used to describe people’s reactions to Jesus.  The New Testament word “amazed” means astonished, thrown into wonderment.  Jesus’ teachings amazed people. People were astonished when He cast out demons and healed the lame. They were “thrown into wonderment” when Jesus rose from the dead. Oh, that we would be amazed, astonished, and thrown into wonderment as we observe Jesus and His words. 

Lord Jesus, As we observe Your works and meditate on Your teachings, we praise You, our AMAZING Lord.
