Jaw-Dropping, Mind-Blowing Jesus
“…that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.”
—1 Corinthians 15:4, ESV
I was listening to a song on YouTube when the artist sang the words: “My jaw-dropping Jesus, my mind-blowing Jesus.” As soon as I heard that phrase, my spirit stirred. I began to reflect on the jaw-dropping moments Jesus had brought into my life. Had I truly been expecting Him to do the miraculous things He is known for—those awe-inspiring, mind-blowing miracles He constantly performs for those who believe?
I sat quietly and remembered one powerful moment from over forty-two years ago when I was in church. I had prayed and asked God, “If You want me to be married, You’ll have to bring me a husband, because I’m not looking and I’m not dating anyone.” Immediately after finishing that prayer, a man walked into our church—someone I had never met before, and someone who had never visited our church until that day. God said to me, “There is your husband.” And He was.
That was just one of those awe-struck miracles—but Jesus continues to do incredible things in my life, and I am deeply grateful. Prior to hearing that song, I had been praying again—this time, asking God to let me live in the supernatural, abundant life. I want to experience the jaw-dropping, mind-blowing Jesus I know Him to be.
Let me be clear: I am full of gratitude for all God has done for me and for those I love. But I’ve also come to realize something important—when people look at our lives, they often attribute our blessings to our own efforts: good jobs, pensions, or wise planning. I asked God to make our life a testimony so unmistakably miraculous that when people see or hear about it, they’ll know without a doubt: “That it had to be God.”
When Israel crossed the Red Sea, everyone knew it was God. When they went to battle for the Promised Land, their enemies were terrified—so much so that the Gibeonites devised a cunning plan to deceive Israel just so they could survive (Joshua 9). The hand of God was undeniable.
When we live with the expectation of our jaw-dropping, mind-blowing, miracle-working, chain-breaking, yoke-destroying Jesus, the world takes notice—and many are drawn to serve Him.
How about you?
When was the last time you experienced your own jaw-dropping, mind-blowing moment with God? Maybe now is the time to bring that deep, impossible-seeming request before Him—the one hidden in the belly of your soul. He’s tugging at your heart, nudging you to ask and believe. And if belief feels hard, ask Him to help your unbelief. Step into the extraordinary journey He has already prepared for you and your family.
