“Why do you ask My name,”
the Angel of the LORD asked him,
“since it is wonderful?”
Judges 13:18
Throughout the annals of history, God presented Himself to His chosen people in many ways and by many titles. Among them were descriptive characteristics like “wonderful” and “marvelous.”
I throw around such words fairly frequently, but I love knowing that when I use them to describe God, they take on a more literal meaning. “Wonderful” cannot be disassociated from wonders, nor can “marvelous” be disassociated from marvels. Yes, Jesus is so much more than a miracle worker, but don’t miss the fact that God unashamedly associates Himself and His Son with wonders.
