wonder

Jesus goes up to a mountain and sits down. Great crowds come to him and press in around him. Many were pushing and wrestling, wedging their way through the crowd. Inside of these great crowds were the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others. Those who had brought these people put them at the feet of Jesus, and they are made well. As a result the crowd was utterly astounded…almost nervously shaken and thinking through what exactly they have gotten mixed up in. Who is this man who has this ability!? They stood there in wonder.

won-der / n. /

the emotion of being astounded or surprised.

The feeling of being awe-inspired by an extraordinary act.

I wonder what it is they wondered about. What caused them to wonder? They began to wonder when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, the lame walking, and the blind seeing, and they glorified God.

The mute began to talk.
The crippled and the lame were made healthy and were walking.
The blind began to see.

What did the mute say once they found the ability to speak?
What did the crippled and lame do once they found the ability to walk and run?
What did the blind want to look at when they realized they could see?

Am I still in wonder of Jesus?

Do I still wonder in general?

Am I still amazed that I have the ability to speak words, to walk and run, or to see? Or have I forgotten? Am I not impressed anymore?

The answer is determined by what I say…where I walk…and what I take the time to look at.
