Happy Friday to you! The Lord led me through yesterday with only a doubt here and there. Praise God for His grace and peace! Today in reading a devotional from Max Lucado, I thought about Jesus' neighbors. Growing up in Nazareth, Jesus lived next to someone, probably like us, one across the street and some on either side of the house and carpenter shop. What an opportunity they had to know the Lord as a child and young man! However, we also know that Jesus was not recognized as the Lord in his hometown. I can see that some of those same neighbors later gossiped about Mary, "did you know her son went down to see that baptizing guy and then went mad?" Many in Judah and the surrounding countries didn't see that God had come to live among them, and today many refuse to see the saving Lord of grace. Praise God for those who have seen the light and do know Jesus as Lord.
Pray this day for those still lost in the darkness.
