Jesus is amazing! To read of the many miracles that are included in just the passages that we read today out of Mark (www.lifejournal.cc) is astonishing! The feeding of the five thousand is unable to be explained or described. It must have been breathtaking to watch such a miracle take place.
The walking on the sea was horrifying to the disciples. They thought it was a ghost! They thought they were going to die. No, it was Jesus walking on the waving waters as if they were a newly waxed floor. Then there is the healing! They brought the diseased to him by the dozens or the hundreds and he healed everyone that he touched. We read that kind of thing so much in the Gospels that, if we are not careful, we may read it like old news. Got news for you: It better never get old! We serve an Amazing Jesus.
We also serve a Lord that can be amazed! Notice what amazed Him in Mark 6:5-6- And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 And he marveled because of their unbelief. Christ was marveled! Not by their great faith or by the many people that came, but He was marveled by the lack of faith in Nazareth. That is quite amazing! His own hometown lacked so much confidence in the sinless, serving Son of God that He was limited in what He did among them. That is amazing! It is amazing as well that our faith, or our lack thereof, is what amazes Jesus. The amazing question is: How often is Jesus amazed at us? at our churches? at you? at me?
We serve a too amazing Jesus to be amazing Him! Live like you believe today and enjoy your Amazing Jesus, instead of allowing your lack of faith to be amazing to Jesus.
