Webster’s dictionary defines the word “marvel” as: to become filled with surprise, wonder, or amazed curiosity; to feel astonishment or perplexity at or about. Jesus used this word when he said the following: “Marvel NOT at this: for the hour is coming, in the which ALL that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have DONE GOOD, unto the resurrection of LIFE; and they that have DONE EVIL, unto the resurrection of DAMNATION” (John 5:2-29).
Did you see it? Jesus said “Marvel NOT at the following fact!” In other words, don’t be surprised by it. Don’t wonder about it. Don’t be astonished or perplexed about it. It’s a truth that should resonate in the deepest part of your spirit … There is a God, you will be judged by Him, and if you made a willful choice to DO GOOD (obey His 10 Love Commandments) you will go to heaven, but if you made a willful choice to DO EVIL (disobey His 10 Love Commandments) you will go to hell. None of this should make you marvel!
But I challenge you, say this fact to a modern day churchgoer and watch their reaction. You will very likely hear them angrily retort … “We’re not saved by works!” Huh? What do they mean by that? Who taught them to lash out like that to the above truth? Why does the simple truth of Jesus’ words above now seem to offend them?
Isn’t that amazing? It’s as if Jesus KNEW last days Christianity would arise, filled with twisted demonic doctrines about salvation, trying to diminish and refute God’s simple truth above (those “doing good” go to heaven and those “doing evil” go to hell) and thus he prefaced that truth with these four little words – “Marvel NOT at this”. Now there’s something to marvel about!
