Jesus had already given many signs to the “wicked and adulterous generation.” But they weren’t seeing them, because they were blind to them. And He can’t give what we won’t receive.
Jesus disappoints so many, so deeply, so often. Know why? His failure … to meet our expectations: our subtle assumptions that He’ll bless, protect, and answer us in our predetermined way.
To get Jesus’ attention, we often cry out in a way we think He wants to hear. We use the right words, but they’re empty words … until we’re housebroken!
Anyone can spot a flaw; no special talent is required. But, confronting and dealing with sin in a merciful, loving, humble, understanding way, now that’s a gift!
