Any particular story/passage/verse/concept in the Bible that absolutely leaves you stunned? Here's one of the many that, when I actually think about it, blow me away (I won't take alll the good ones):
John 1:14: The word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
That's crazy. Verse 1 says, the word was with God and the word was God. So, the word=God actually came down and lived on earth. I'm not sure it's possible to overemphasize that: God lived on earth. Like, perfection living among scum. And moreover, did it willingly. I think, for me, that's like the turning point of the whole Bible. God became man to make himself visible, but also to literally 'feel my pain'. Whoa.

How about Matt 9:35. The idea is that Jesus always teaches the Good News while demonstrating it physically (ie. feeding the four and five thousand, healing the sick, freeing people from their demons, etc.). Lovely words matched by lovely deeds.
