Now You See It
Have you ever noticed at election time how there are so many hopes expressed and promises made? It was actually the same at the time of Jesus. We will finish our series entitled "Tested" today as we look at Jesus' triumphal entry. The people had such high hopes for Jesus. Finally the "Son of David" is going to enter the holy city and bring the longed for redemption of Israel. Everyone watching would have understood this. But there were also things they did not understand. There are deeper, unseen things about Jesus that do not meet the eye. Jesus hints at this as he teaches in the temple. The invitation for us is to deepen our relationship with Jesus as our understanding of him grows as well. The New Testament prods us to approach knowing God as knowing Jesus. Jesus is a person of such depth that we will spend a lifetime and into eternity getting to know him. Jesus does not overpromise and under deliver.
