Mark 6:3 (NKJV) 3 Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?” So they were offended at Him.
They knew Jesus on the outside, but they didn’t know Him on the inside.
Mighty Son of God here on earth. Miracle maker, Holy and perfect Man. One with our Creator of the world. Majesty, Messiah, King of kings and Prince of Peace is He!
He is everything they needed, and yet they looked upon Him as just a carpenter, the son of Mary, with brothers and sisters.
They did not see God in Him with their natural eyes, and their understanding was that of the natural, stubborn mind, directly from their will.
They did not hear Him in their spirit man because in their hearts they had already discounted who He really is; God in the Flesh.
Their ears and eyes did not see nor hear.
We all have that freedom. We can open up to Him and believe who He is, or we can deny Him and pretend He was just a carpenter’s son.
The heart is seen as the root of our being. It can be opened up to see and hear. It can also remain closed by our own will.
Mark 4:12 (NKJV) 12 so that ‘Seeing they may see and not perceive, And hearing they may hear and not understand; Lest they should turn, And their sins be forgiven them.’ ”
Do we will to know the truth about this carpenter, Mary’s Son, Jesus Christ?
Do we will our heart to know and learn about Him? And will we surrender our heart fully to Him?
When we do, our steps will not be our own, but directed by the Lord.
Don’t let our will contaminate our heart. Surrender it to Jesus Christ and know that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life!
Amen.
John 14:6 (NKJV) 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
