If we had lived back then
in ancient Israel, in Jerusalem,
in that time, in real-time;
Would we know the Messiah
when Jesus was in our midst?
Would we have been like the leaders
the Sanhedrin, the priests, the Levites,
denying the fulfillment of scripture
unable to see beyond their experience;
Would we have believed?

my response
“That
lack of vision may be part of why the Jewish leaders could
not see Christ
as the real Messiah prophesied in scripture.
They
were looking for a lower-case messiah like Saul or David,
an
earthly king to overthrow Rome, not the Lamb to take away
their
condemnation under Law.”

“Far too
many of us lower our view of scripture in order to match
our
experience and expectations. Instead we should be raising our
expectations
to match the witness of scripture.”

While
the great ones of the Earth build themselves
‘thrones’
for their own power, God chooses
an
uncomfortable throne, the cross,
