Lost in wonder

Jesus, however, performed all that He promised to do, and by which He conferred benefits upon his adherents. And we, continually seeing fulfilled all that was predicted by Him before it happened, viz., that this Gospel of His should be preached throughout the whole world, and that His disciples should go among all nations and announce His doctrine; and, moreover, that they should be brought before governors and kings on no other account than because of His teaching; we are lost in wonder at Him, and have our faith in Him daily confirmed.

Yo, Jesus straight-up delivered on every promise He made, dropping mad blessings on His squad. And us? We’re always seeing all that wild stuff He called out ahead of time actually go down – like His Gospel blowing up everywhere on the planet, His crew jetting out to every nation to drop the truth bombs; plus, getting hauled in front of rulers and kings just ’cause of His teachings. We’re low-key obsessed and mind-blown by Him every day, and our faith in Him just keeps leveling up, no cap.

Jesus is trustworthy. Go to Him for your answers and God bless.
