No One More Amazing

“No One More Amazing”

By Zach Wood

Hebrews 1:3-4 NLT

The Son radiates God’s own glory and expresses the very character of God, and he sustains everything by the mighty power of his command. When he had cleansed us from our sins, he sat down in the place of honor at the right hand of the majestic God in heaven.  This shows that the Son is far greater than the angels, just as the name God gave him is greater than their names.

I enjoy watching amazing things that people do.  Whether it’s on TV, a Netflix series or in a documentary, I really enjoy watching people do bizarre and amazing things.  I like when someone does something and my jaw drops and my eyes become as wide as saucers and I just say, “How did they do that??”

We have all been amazed by different people and different things in life that we see people do.  We get a thrill from watching people do some amazing stunts and perform tricks that totally blow our minds.  I enjoy watching magicians perform.  I know they have a very simple trick to what they do, but it really amazes me when I see them do what they do.

What amazes you?  What makes your jaw drop?  What makes you say, “Wow!  Did that really just happen?”

As much as I like to be amazed by things and people, I often wonder how much more I should be completely amazed by the things God has done and still does.  I wonder how much I focus so much on the amazement of things in this world and how little I sometimes focus my attention toward an amazing God.  That breaks my heart.  I often find myself more amazed at what people do than what God can do and still does. 

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Who was sinless and radiated God’s own glory, came to be an exact replica of God.  He was God in the flesh. After all these years of being a Christian, it still baffles me how God can be 3 in 1, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  It’s just amazing!  I cannot wrap my mind around it!  Jesus radiates His Father’s glory perfectly.  Everything is sustained by His command.  Wow!  Does that amaze you?

Not only did He represent His Father’s glory, but He cleansed us from our sins.  He died for those sins.  These are all things I should be totally amazed by every day in my life, but so often my actions reveal that I am not really that amazed.  I find myself waiting for the next thing I can see with my eyes on this earth and not in anticipation for what God will do.

There is absolutely no one more amazing, incredible and majestic than our Creator God.
