What Amazes You?
Luke 2:46-48 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.
Astonished. Amazed. A couple of the words you’ll find here in our text used to describe those that were sitting with a twelve year old Jesus. They were astonished by His knowledge. Amazed by His understanding and explanation. How amazed are we anymore? Amazing seems to be a word that is overused to describe things that truly are rather common in today’s world. You will often hear the phrase: Wow! That’s amazing! Is it really? Do we use that just to try to make a point? So, what really amazes you anymore? Does God’s grace still amaze you? There was so much sang about this past weekend about God’s grace. It should amaze us the grace He bestows upon us even as unworthy as we are. Does His salvation amaze you? The fact that someone would send their only Son to die for me! I find that truly amazing. Does His love amaze you? The fact that I fall short of His glory everyday, yet He still loves me! I still find that amazing! The fact that an all Holy God who controls everything would even look my way and love me, forgive me, show long suffering towards me, and just allow me to do anything for Him! That amazes me everyday! What an amazing God we serve! Does He still amaze you?
God bless you today! Bro. Josh Richardson
