ASLC Devotions - Saturday

Saturday, April 16

 

Mark 10:32

 

They were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them; they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. He took the twelve aside again and began to tell them what was to happen to him

 

I read this verse and wondered why the disciples were amazed. What did they find amazing?

 

Was it the crowds they saw along the way during their travels with Jesus? Was it the miracles they saw Jesus perform? Was it what Jesus told them was coming, he would be killed and rise again in 3 days for our sakes? Was it he chose them to be his disciples?

 

I wonder how many of us take time to be amazed and appreciate all the amazing things God does. I try to find one thing each day I find amazing. It may be something as simple as a beautiful sunset or finding the answer to a problem. I always give thanks to God for whatever amazing thing I discover. I also give thanks for the most

amazing thing God did for us by giving his only Son to save us.

 

I hope all of you will take time each day to find something amazing to celebrate and give thanks to God for whatever that may be.
