Matthew 12:23

Let’s Be Amazed

01/13/2024

Throughout the Bible, the word “amazed” is used to describe people’s reactions to God. Mark 1:22 records that people “were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.”

The New Testament word “amazed” means astonished, thrown into wonderment. Jesus’ teachings astonished people.

Matthew 12:23 records that when Jesus healed a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute so that he could see and talk, “All the crowds were amazed and were saying, ‘This man cannot be the Son of David, can He?’”

When Jesus rose from the dead, they were amazed (“thrown into wonderment”) Mark 16:5-6.

Oh that we be amazed, astonished, and thrown into wonderment at our Lord.

Keep your eyes open, friend, for how Jesus is working in your life and in the lives of others. You might just find yourself amazed.

Lord Jesus, we praise You, AMAZING Lord. You work in ways beyond our reach and power; in ways only You can work. Help us be ever mindful of lives You are transforming, of how You are transforming us. May our eyes be open to all You are doing and we be continually in awe of You, amazed.
