As the Lord’s people, we must be careful never to allow the circumstances in life to overwhelm us and distract us from the wonderful blessing of seeing ourselves as Christ-followers. We belong to the absolutely awesome and astoundingly majestic One Who loves us with everlasting love. He is perfect in every detail of His being. Even when He took upon Himself a complete human nature and became man, He was perfect.

“And it came to pass, that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. And all that heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers” (Luke 2:46-47).

What a sight before us! The Lord Jesus as a twelve-year-old boy discussing God’s truth with the very learned doctors of the Law! Seated with the religious leaders was no typical young boy. This was none other than 100% God and 100% man existing in what is called “the Hypostatic Union.” He was the God-Man! No wonder that those who were listening to Him were quite amazed.

I hope you will have the same amazement and wonder at this precious Lord Jesus Christ. Do you know Him as your Lord and Savior? He is truly amazing.

I really do want this in my personal life: I never want to lose my sense of awe and admiration for the Lord Jesus. How about you?
