When we can’t see the forest for the trees…..
“And the Father Himself, who sent Me, has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form. “But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe. “You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. “But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life. John 5:37-40
Sometimes we miss the things that are right in front of us.
Jesus spoke to the people, telling them, in essence, that they were missing what was right in front of them.
They diligently searched the Scriptures for eternal life, however, when He was presented to them as the Messiah, the One the Scripture spoke about, they were unwilling to come to Him to find that eternal life.
Sometimes we get caught up in the”doing” of things.
And in the “doing” we miss out on the “relationship” with Jesus.
Jesus is here today.
He is right here with us.
Set aside the “religious” trappings, the “doing” and walk into the arms of the One who is waiting for you.
