Jesus our Lord and Saviour can be right in front of us yet why do we often not see Him? Why do we not recognise Him? Why do we not see Jesus in others? Do we choose to make blind?
“My Sheep hear listen to my voice, I know them and they follow me.” Are we His Sheep? Do we listen to Him to be merciful and compassionate? To love our neighbour? Or do we listen to the inner voice of our beloved world telling us to ignore Him? To do as we please? Do judge others according to our standards our sense of righteousness?
Do we seek to be transformed? To be a new creation in Him? To love and be loved? To live a life in God, in holiness? Or do we choose to go back to our house? Our own way of living?
May the love and light of our Lord Jesus Christ illumine our minds and hearts. Amen

Search and you will see that no prophet is to rise from Galilee.”
53 They went each to his own house,
