The crowds and the disciples stood amazed in response to Jesus healing the boy. They knew the power of God at work when they saw it. They were amazed at His Majesty. This was Jesus doing what no one else could do. Jesus’ majesty in healing brought amazement to the people. Another word for majesty is greatness. He had unique power no one else had. Today, stand amazed as you reflect on God’s greatness and may we all be amazed.
[Luke 9.37-43a]
37 On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met him. 38 And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child. 39 And behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out. It convulses him so that he foams at the mouth, and shatters him, and will hardly leave him. 40 And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not.” 41 Jesus answered, “O faithless and twisted generation, how long am I to be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.” 42 While he was coming, the demon threw him to the ground and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father. 43 And all were astonished at the majesty of God
