Amazement seized all of them, and they glorified God and were filled with awe, saying, “We have seen strange things today.”(Luke 5:26)
At some point in our lives we all have seen something that either takes our breath away, or makes us say "I can't believe my eyes." There are also things that happen in our world that are baffling or just so surprising that we are left speechless.
These folks had seen some amazing things. They saw a man being let down through a recently made whole in a roof. They saw Jesus get into an argument and win against the religious leaders of his time. And they saw a paralytic get up and walk.
When you see something out of the ordinary what is your reaction? I guess it depends on what you see. If it something awe inspiring, giving glory to God seems appropriate. We may see strange things that frighten us to the point of running. We of course see strange things that we're encouraged to report to the police.
But through most of life we are invited to keep our eyes open so that we can see what's going on.
Blessings,
Ed
