Puzzled
Acts 5: 24
“On hearing this report, the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests were puzzled, wondering what would come of this.”

They were puzzled at the report. It was unexplainable. Magical. If this were true then what does this mean?
Oh that these kind of words would return in our generation.
Social media is full of rhetoric each day from the Church advertising to Christians in order to attract more, through words such as “Awesome, Incredibly anointed, fire falling, wind blowing, vision casting night!”
Oh that we may just read something of the sceptics, the unbelievers, the slanderers being silenced and not being able to understand what they have just witnessed and more importantly the ramifications of what they have just heard.
In 2009 radio DJ, Chris Moyes, on his morning show spoke of attending Kingsgate Community Church as “fascinating, it was amazing, people with their hands in the air, it was amazing, I’ve been in gigs with less atmosphere, I’ve never seen anything like it …”
Maybe the Church should stop reporting clearly to the Christian world on how the Church performed and leave it to radio 1 DJs to express their puzzlement. It feels more healthy that way.
