AMAZED

AMAZED

I am simply amazed everyday at what is going on in our world today. Lawlessness are wickedness working everywhere. Seems as though the human race wants to see how far into debauchery it can go. But that’s not what I want to dwell on today. Today I am thinking of how amazed I am that a Holy God could love me enough to send His only Son to this earth and let him be offered as a sacrifice for someone like me, and oh yes, for all these that are living so wickedly and lawlessly.

I looked up the definition of amazed and this is what Webster’s 1828 Dictionary gave as a definition of AMA'ZED: Astonished; confounded with fear, surprise or wonder. Scripture tells us that in Jesus days people were amazed or astonished at His works then as well.

His parents were amazed at His knowledge of scriptures when he was only twelve years old when they found Him in the temple/.

Luke 2:47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. 48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.

Then when he started His ministry those that heard and saw His teachings and saw the miracles they were also amazed.

Mark 2:11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. 12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.

Luke 4:30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way, 31 And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days. 32 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.

Even His disciples were astonished, amazed.

Mark 10:24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answered again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God? 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?

So should we be amazed at His words, His works, and His ways. For His ways are not our ways. I say yes amazed, astonished but not surprised. If He has done it once He can do it again, as He is not a respecter of persons.

HAVE AN AMAZING DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
