“And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.”
Mark 1:22 KJV
The people were awestruck by Jesus’s teaching, because He taught in a way that demonstrated God’s authority, which was quite unlike the religious scholars. Jesus spoke with such glory and power emanating from Him that His words were like thunderbolts in the listeners’ hearts. They were shocked and astonished because they had never heard anything like this before and they were shaken to the core of their hearts. Jesus taught from an inner knowledge of God and His Word, for His teaching emphasised obedience to God from the heart, not just outwardly keeping of laws. May we receive with meekness His implanted Word which is able to save our souls. May we allow the Word to do a work in our hearts by the power of God the Holy Spirit. Amen!
