VERSE:
"But we know where this man is from; when the Christ comes, no
one will know where he is from."
-- John 7:27
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=John+7:27
THOUGHT:
God in human flesh is how John 1:14 describes Jesus, God's
ultimate message (cf. Heb. 1:1-3). Of course this is a mystery that
we cannot fully fathom. It is beyond our human experience and
limited reality. Jesus' critics want to easily characterize him as
someone who cannot be Messiah because they think they know where he
is from. They are wrong. They think he is from Nazareth and not
Bethlehem. We know better. They are even more wrong, because Jesus
isn't ultimately from Bethlehem; he is "from above." Jesus exhausts
our imagination and overflows our cup of wonder as we seek to
understand all that he is as our Savior, Christ the Lord.
PRAYER:
O Lord, forgive me for my limited vision of Jesus' glory. Enable
my heart's ability to find wonder, joy, grace, exhilaration, glory,
and awe in his power, his grace, his sacrifice, his victory, and
his love. To you, Father, and to the Christ, be all the glory and
honor that my heart can muster and my voice can proclaim. In Jesus'
name I offer you my praise! Amen.
