A-may-zing!

When's the last time you had a jaw-dropping, amazing moment?
It happened to me yesterday.
It always happens for me when I'm on an airplane and we climb up above the clouds.  
Wow - sky above, clouds below.  
Wow.

This morning we heard about some people who attended the most amazing church service of their lives.  Leading the service was...
Jesus.

Mark 1:21-28
21 They went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach. 22 The people were amazed at his teaching, because he taught them as one who had authority, not as the teachers of the law. 23 Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an impure spirit cried out, 24 “What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”
25 “Be quiet!” said Jesus sternly. “Come out of him!” 26 The impure spirit shook the man violently and came out of him with a shriek.
27 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.” 28 News about him spread quickly over the whole region of Galilee.

And another way the our Jesus is amazing...

And Can It Be (Glad)

=========================
Lord,
Thank your for bringing amazing into my life.
Open my eyes to see it.
And to be amazed (not cynical and jaded and apathetic...).
Amen.
