This is something that I love that the three witnesses added in. It doesn't change the description of events or what they are testifying about at all. What they say happened, really happened. This is one simple sentence that expresses how they felt about it.
I looked up marvelous in the dictionary, and the best definition for this is this: "such as to cause wonder, admiration, or astonishment; surprising; extraordinary". So the events that these three men experienced caused them wonder and astonishment.
This small phrase pretty much sums up how I feel about the Gospel and God's plan for me. It is marvelous in my eyes. The fact that the same being that created the world (worlds without number, actually), has time and cares for each single individual, that He cares for me, causes me wonder, admiration, and astonishment. It is something to be really grateful for. That I can talk to Him in prayer and He has the capacity, and even the desire, to listen to me and be there for me, and direct me in the way that I should go is a beautiful, amazing thing to me.
I love the words to the hymn "I Stand All Amazed". It pretty much sums up how I feel.
I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me,
Confused at the grace that so fully he proffers me.
I tremble to know that for me he was crucified,
That for me, a sinner, he suffered, he bled and died.
I marvel that he would descend from his throne divine
To rescue a soul so rebellious and proud as mine,
That he should extend his great love unto such as I,
Sufficient to own, to redeem, and to justify.
I think of his hands pierced and bleeding to pay the debt!
Such mercy, such love and devotion can I forget?
No, no, I will praise and adore at the mercy seat,
Until at the glorified throne I kneel at his feet.
(Chorus)
Oh, it is wonderful that he should care for me
Enough to die for me!
Oh, it is wonderful, wonderful to me!
It really is amazing, wonderful and marvelous.
