Do you marvel at Jesus, at who he is and how he is and what he's done? The Pharisees found time to marvel -- they didn't intend to, but they couldn't help it. They spun webs to ensnare him and he cut clean through them, like a missile blowing through cobwebs, targeting the hearts of all who could hear. When the Pharisees realized the brilliance, they marveled.
We marvel at lots of things. We marvel at fancy cars and the lives of the rich and famous and mansions that sell for $30 million. We marvel at social media personalities who make $50,000/month and people who make millions playing video games. We marvel at the latest iPhones and binge-able series. We marvel all the time, and some of the things in the world are marvels.
We rarely set aside time to marvel at Jesus. Maybe the world is just so busy, but we've forgotten how to marvel at the idea of the God who created the universe and then fell so deeply in love with God's creation that God wrote himself into the story, entering into the pages of the story to redeem the people who had gotten everything wrong.
Marvel at the God to whom everything belongs, and who takes responsibility to set all things new, even you. It's worth marveling at.
