AMAZED

In the day we live it really takes a lot to amaze us. We see so much on the television and internet, some of which is true and a lot of it is not. But there has always been things that amazed people and things today that are true that should amaze us but it seems that the things today don’t really amaze. In Jesus’ day we have record of things that amazed even his parents.

Luke 2:46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.

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.

When Jesus was 12 years old his parents took Him with them to the temple as the custom was. Then as they returned home they missed Him and after three days found Him talking with the doctors and asking question. The were astonished or amazed and when His parents found Him they were also amazed.

Today the Lord does many things that should amaze us but if they do we don’t show it. He saves today which is quite amazing. I have seen people that He has healed from sickness and that should amaze us but it just seems to be an everyday occurrence and nothing really special. But a soul being saved is amazing and a healing is as well. I wonder if the promise of heaven amazes us? I know when we get there we will be amazed for it will be nothing like anything we have ever seen or experienced in this life.

I am amazed that a Holy God could love me so much that He sent His only begotten Son to die to pay the world’s sin debt so that I might be saved.

Live every day in amazement just as a child does at Christmas.

Have a great day.
