Is Jesus Amazed?

During thegathering we've been in a series called 24| A day in the life of Jesus. It's been a great study to discover the way of Christ. Tonight's twenty-four hours with Jesus was when Jesus was amazed at the soldier's faith (Luke 7). Jesus was amazed two times in Scripture - this time with the soldier's faith and the other time when his own family and friends demonstrated a lack of faith.
It's interesting how close to home that still comes today. I wonder if Jesus is still amazed at our faith or lack of? I hope He still gets amazed at those who choose to go! And I pray more will rise to the call even when we can't see everything ahead. I hope Jesus will be amazed by the Christ-followers that are coming to Real Hope and for the faith they will demonstrate in the years to come.

If you haven't joined us yet at thegathering we hope to see you soon! It's turning out to be a great night each Wednesday. Also this Sunday at our house we are hosting our first Discover Real Hope Dinner where we talk about the mission and vision of Real Hope. We want Real Hope to be all God intended it to be and this is a place to understand how we can make that happen together.
