“Then he said to the paralytic, "Get up, take your mat and go home." And the man got up and went home. When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God, who had given such authority to men.” ~ Matt. 9:6b-8
“The people were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled made well, the lame walking and the blind seeing. And they praised the God of Israel.” ~ Matt.15:31
“The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother. They were all filled with awe and praised God. ‘A great prophet has appeared among us," they said. "God has come to help his people.’” ~ Luke 7:15-16
The people of Jesus’ day knew a miracle when they saw one. We have become accustomed to changes in our world which may have seemed miraculous at one time, but now are the norm.
Do we still praise God for the miracle of salvation through resurrection?
