The shepherds stood in wonder at His birth. For what the angels had proclaimed to them was true. The Messiah had been born & they had been the first to witness His arrival. Soon they spread The Good News to everyone, and all who heard it were amazed.
The soldiers stood in wonder at His death. These Gentile Roman soldiers may not have known Old Testament Jewish prophecy – but in wonderment they made an appropriate confession of Jesus’ identity when they proclaimed in Matthew 27:54, “Truly this was the Son of God!”
The witnesses stood in wonder at His resurrection. In Luke 24:50-53, Jesus’ followers stand in utter amazement as He ascended in Shekinah glory – a moment of remarkable splendor as God’s radiant glory was manifested for them to see.
Someday the entire world will stand in wonder at His return. Across Scriptures we see it – Isaiah 45:23, Romans 14:11, and Philippians 2:10 all allude to the Second Coming of Christ when all mankind will stand before the Judgment Seat in total submission. ” Jesus the Name above every Name – so that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.”
