Prepare for Worship – What Amazes Jesus? (May 16-17

An interesting question: What Amazes Jesus? I tend to thing that nothing would amaze our Lord and Savior because he was there for creation, the fall, the cross (obviously!), and will be there for the end of all things as we know it. But the Bible says on occasion that Jesus was amazed. Mark 6: 5-6 from our Gospel reading this week says:

“He could not do any miracles there, except lay His hands on a few sick people and heal them. And He was amazed at their lack of faith.” (emphasis mine)

So, what do you think amazed Jesus? Give it some thought as you study the scriptures below and then come this weekend prepared to hear from God.

The readings for this week:
Old Testament:  Psalm 119: 81-88
New Testament:  Hebrews 6: 1-6
Gospel:  Mark 6: 1-6
