The Mystery of Jesus

"With the coming of the Sabbath he began teaching in the synagogue, and most of them were astonished when they heard him. They said, 'Where did the man get all this? What is this wisdom that has been granted him, and these miracles that are worked through him?" (Mark 6:2)

The people who were amazed by the teaching of Jesus in the synagogue knew that the wisdom of Jesus was granted from above. The Old Testament taught them that wisdom is a gift of God. God grants wisdom to those who fear him, desires wisdom and study his word. The people also knew that the power of Jesus to work miracles came from above. Jesus was a mystery to them.

Lord Jesus, teach me that I may teach like you. Grant me much wisdom for your work. Amen.
