  15. 1. Introduction: Let’s review AWE Emotional/Physical Part Trembling from the presence of something amazing, strange, huge, overwhelming even frightening. It is not always a feeling of danger but akin to“I really need to be careful here!” Mental Part The mysterious, hard to understand, hard to grasp, hard to wrap your mind around aspect of AWE. It promotes wonder, curiosity, and a mental state of being focused, even transfixed.

  16. Results If Awe Is On A “Person” • This leads to a persistent pursuit of understanding and desire to make sense of them. • There is a desire to relate to them in a meaningful way. • We want to become a fan, a follower, a loyal friend, a kin. • This helps explain cults if awe is focused on an evil “person”.

  18. Mary the curious: Please help me figure this out! Mary the awestruck: It’s the Master! How can I possibly wrap my mind around this! Mary the relieved believer: Rabboni!

  19. Thomas the skeptic: He doubted that Jesus rose from the grave. Thomas the wonderer: He sees Jesus and is filled astonishment and curiosity Thomas the awestruck: He is filled with a reverential fear – awe – and incomprehensibility Thomas the believer: My Lord and My God! 3. Thomas Was In Awe!
