Luke 7:1-35
‘When
he heard of Jesus...’(3): ‘Faith comes from hearing...’. Tell people of
Jesus: ‘How can they believe in Him if they have not heard His message?
How can they hear if no one tells the Good News?’(Romans 10:17,14).
‘God has visited His people!’(16): ‘Raised from the dead’- Pray for a
real ‘quickening’ as the ‘God, who is rich in mercy’, pours out ‘His
great love’ upon us (Ephesians 2:4-6). John was looking for the One who
was ‘to come’(19). What a great thing it is when Christ comes among us.
Do we take His presence for granted? Do not presume on God’s blessing:
‘Blessed are the eyes which see what you see!... many... desired to see
what you see and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not
hear it’(10:23-24). Do we care about God’s blessing? - If we don’t, we
may lose it!
