Luke 7:18-50 - While they were looking

Jesus, often shows us our problems or our lack of vision by showing us others, or by showing us the same thing over again. John the Baptist, the pharisee, and the wayward woman all need to see their need and debt. Which will love Jesus more? The one who sees and comes.

So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
