Lent 2014 day 16 by ric gustafson
Matthew 13:54-55 " Where did he get the power to work miracles? Isn't he the carpenter's son?".
Jesus was rejected in his own hometown. Why was that?. Possibly instead of being just ordinary, people might of been expecting a superhero. Jesus was truly human along with being divine. Instead of being open to his teaching, people were scornful and knew him too well.
Jesus wants to be totally involved in our ordinary lives. He wants to be there in our everyday life no matter what is happening.
Sometimes we wish for a superhero to take away our problems and troubles. Jesus wants to be in our everyday life every day. Our life can change when we recognize him in our simple every day life.
My prayer is that Jesus will open my eyes to see him in my everyday life.
