      Moments Together for Growing Closer to God - Dennis Rainey

      GOD

      AMAZING

      And they were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

      MARK 1:22

      Have you seen Jesus? I mean really seen Him? Not some kind of 900-foot-tall object but, rather, the Jesus Christ who lives in the Bible?

      When I read through the book of Mark, I see a Christ who is amazing. And He obviously struck others the same when He lived on Earth.

      For one thing, His teachings were amazing. The people were shaken to their core by the authority Christ had when He taught.

      Second, He performed miracles that were amazing. He healed the blind, the sick, the lepers. Mark 4:35-41 gives us another little outline of a story, a brief glimpse of a miracle that Jesus performed. This is no mystical myth. This was a real event that occurred. This passage describes Jesus with His disciples and how He rebuked the wind of a storm.

      On a windy day you or I could go outside and say Hold it to the wind. But it would just keep blowing. A wall could be built, but that really would not stop it. The wind would flow right over it. Yet Jesus turned an angry sea into a calm surface by speaking, causing the wind to stop.

      Christ healed the sick, fed the 5,000 and not only walked on water but also made it possible for Peter to do the same. I sometimes wonder what it was like to be Peter as he stepped out of that boat. He had his eyes on Christ; he stepped out of the boat, and the water was solid. Then he saw the wind and began to sink.

      In sermons, I’ve heard Peter criticized for seeing the wind and sinking—for his doubt and unbelief. But he still stepped out—he had the faith to get out of the boat onto the water! And he’s the only person in history to walk on water, other than Jesus.

      What’s my point? Have you ever been amazed by His teachings? Have you ever really stepped out and taken Him at His word?

      Discuss: How has God’s teaching made a difference in your
