The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching—and with authority! He even gives orders to impure spirits and they obey him.” I found this small bud in a flower garden around an old homestead in Roan Mountain State Park. Maybe it was the unusual line of red along the edges or the small drops of morning dew still hanging on to its petals that drew me to it. I have no idea what kind of flower this bud became, but I was amazed by its beauty, its newness, its promise.
For those of us who have been Christians and heard the gospel for a long time, we can forget how amazing the story of God’s love is. May we recover the amazement of the people who first heard Jesus teaching. See his beauty. Stand in awe before the hands that created our world and then hung on a cross. As I don’t know what kind of flower this bud became I don’t always know where Jesus teaching will lead, for truly it is a new teaching. No matter where Jesus leads we know that he is faithful and true. If we bow before him in awe and wonder he will conquer our demons and bring us new life. Prayer Amazing God Fill us again with the wonder of your great love that sent Jesus to teach us how to live. Amen
