HOW IS YOUR VISION?

Mark 14:1-2

¹ It would be the Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread in just two days, and the chief priests and the scribes were trying to find a way to covertly arrest Jesus and kill him. ² Because they said, “Not during the festival, or the people might riot.

religiously blind

The chief priests and scribes had every opportunity to see the significance of Jesus. Even at the point at which we see them in the story, they should have been preparing spiritually for two great religious feasts – both of which pointed to Jesus. Yet their hatred of him and their fear of him kept them blind.

Those of us who are deeply religious are not immune to blindness. We should be looking for God to speak to us in all the circumstances of our lives. Too often, we only react as we would in the flesh, and miss his message, and miss opportunities to help others in his name.

LORD, open our eyes to the reality that you bring to our lives every day. Do not allow us to overlook you.
