I Need Glasses!
Eyes are one of the most important organs of our body, I’ve always said if i were to choose no
Legs, arms or eyes, I would forfeit being without eyes or sight and gladly take up the two. I think you would choose the same or maybe not but our sight is one of the greatest treasure and blessings there is for man.
Morning Manna- What do you see?
Bible verses- “As they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses. But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet. For this is he of whom it is written: ‘Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You.’” Matthew 11:7-10 NKJV.
- [ ] What did you see? Jesus asks this question three times to the people in audience. It was a question of who or what they perceive John to be. Was he a reed shaken in the wilderness, or one who lived in the kings house because of the soft clothings he wore and lastly was he a prophet. Jesus answer was, yes, John was not only a prophet but more than a prophet.
- [ ] In the question and assessment of people’s view, about who people saw John to be, Jesus shared three worldview of how people think and saw reality. The first one “a reed in the wilderness” - the natural view(nature), a man in soft clothes signifies man living in kingly glory- the human standard or status view(humanly)- and lastly a prophet - the godly view. (Godly)
- [ ] The lesson is simple, which of this views do I see and gauge reality in this life by; the natural, humane or godly. Jesus saw things always through the godly or heavenly world view. And how is that done by, the answer is found in Mathew 11:10 “For this is he of whom it is written: ‘Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You.’” Matthew 11:10 NKJV. Jesus saw things by “IT IS WRITTEN”, Jesus saw things always through the word of God, this is how he saw things, people and situations. Jesus eyes is through God’s words.
- [ ] To conclude “What do you see?”. May we see things through God’s eyes not through nature or the humane. And seeing things through God’s eyes is only through the lens of His word. “Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path. Psalms 119:105 NKJV. Why is this important? People might have missed who John was or people might missed God’s blessing to them through the ministry and life of John. Thus, the greater prayer this morning is not simple as “Lord let see what you see” but “Lord help me be acquainted or read God’s word that I may see as God sees and not miss my blessings. Amen”
- [ ] God bless everyone and may you all have a blessed day.
