The crowd has quite a response to what they have witnessed. They are seized by “fear,” which is a way of declaring astonishment and amazement. Immediately, they glorify God. The people acknowledge Jesus as a great prophet and affirm the authenticity of God’s work.

God’s work is more than simply a show for us to watch; it is something for us to remember, participate in, and share. God’s work is sitting with someone new in the lunchroom. God’s work is giving a younger neighbor a ride to school. God’s work is being a leader in youth group. The amazing acts we witness encourage us in times of pain and hardship.

What amazing thing is God doing in your life?
