Listen "God's Marvelous Work"
Episode Synopsis
Isaiah 29:13–14 reveals God’s rebuke of those who honor Him outwardly but lack true devotion. In response, He promises to perform a “marvelous work and a wonder,” which Dake interprets as the gospel of Jesus Christ—teaching, preaching, healing, and transforming lives. This divine work amazed some but offended others, as human wisdom clashed with God’s truth. Paul reinforces this in 1 Corinthians 1:18–21, declaring that the message of the cross seems foolish to the world but is God’s power to those who believe. The gospel divides humanity—it is life to believers and death to rejecters, as 2 Corinthians 2:14–17 describes believers as carrying the “sweet savor” of Christ wherever they go. Each person must ask: Do I reflect the fragrance of Christ, or the emptiness of worldly wisdom? Finally, 1 Peter 5:1–4 urges church leaders to faithfully “feed the flock of God,” serving with humility and sincerity, not for personal gain. The main work of the church is not social programs or popular trends, but preaching the gospel—the true “marvelous work” of God. Those who remain faithful in this calling will receive a crown of glory when Christ, the Chief Shepherd, appears.
