Amazed...

Greetings fellow members!

As we were talking at the dinner table tonight and Joseph asking Victor alot of questions about The Lord it struck me that when Jesus overturned the money tables in the temple how there was no tumultous hubbub or riot and how no one could stop Jesus as His wrath was seen and the fire that must have burned in His eyes, the righteous anger displayed (John 2:14-17)... and also when they tried to throw Jesus down a cliff and he just passed through the middle of the throng and no harm done (Luke 4:29-30)...and Jesus said that no one could take His life from Him but that He lays it down of His own authority (John 10:18)...oh what power and glory!
No one could hurt Him unless He allowed it. And He did.
It also reminds me of Christ's 'subdued' anger and that one day it will be fully displayed.
Rienke mentioned that Owen's book shows different aspects of Christ's glory and tonight's thought just stayed with me and it just amazes me. Thinking like this is musing on His Glory.

May we not only be amazed at His goodness, gentleness, love and longsuffering but also at His justice and power being displayed, not only than but now! He controls all things.
Nothing is hidden from His sight and may we live in that continual knowledge, fully aware of His gaze.

God bless!
Cynthia.
