THE MARVELOUS MESSIAH
Even Christ’s enemies “marveled at Him” when He answered their question about paying taxes. Jesus displayed amazing wisdom with such brevity and fulness (“Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”). He wasted not a single word, yet fully responded to their complex question. Reading the gospels, one cannot help but realize the otherworldliness of Jesus. Both His humanity and divinity are on full display. There is no other like Jesus. Whether one believes or rejects Him, no one who encounters the Jesus of the Bible can help but “marvel at Him.”
PRAYER: Dear Father, we marvel at Your Son, for He is wonderful. Yet we no longer do so at a distance. For we have believed Him and received Him as our Lord and Savior. Now He lives within us by His Spirit. Empower us with Your wisdom and grace to boldly proclaim Jesus to the world, so that everyone who hears not only marvels, but believes.
