“Immediately, when they saw Him, all the people were GREATLY AMAZED, and running to Him, greeted Him.” Mark 9:15

Ever notice how many times the gospel says that Jesus AMAZED the crowds?  Or that everyone was ASTONISHED by His words?  Ever count the number of times that Jesus performed a miracle and it says that all the crowds MARVELED when they saw it?

From start to finish, Jesus led a truly AMAZING life.  There weren’t too many dull days with Him around.  One day healing the sick; the next day feeding the multitudes.  One day preaching in parables; the next day casting out demons.  He was a Teacher and a Preacher; a Comforter and a Counselor.  He was all things to all men.  But apparently not everyone was impressed.
