Key Passage
Then some people brought a man to Jesus. This man was blind and could not talk, because he had a demon inside him. Jesus healed the man, and the man could talk and see. All the people were amazed. The people said, "Maybe this man (Jesus) is the Son of David {that God promised to send to us}!"

โ€” Matthew 12:22-23 ERV (Read Full Text)

Key Thought
Isn't it amazing how the common everyday folks were so much better at recognizing Jesus than all the religious leaders? What's going on here? Of course we know: it's old human pride and selfishness rearing their ugly heads. Those too smart, too good, and too religious to appreciate Jesus totally missed his coming. But those who were simple, who yearned for God, could find Jesus in almost any situation. That's what faith is all aboutโ€”giving up our pretensions and coming to meet Jesus honestly to see that his work is still true today!

Prayer
Holy God, please remove my blinders and arrogance and help me see Jesus as he truly is, my Savior and your Son! In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

You people that hear me, listen! "What can I say about the people that live today? What are they like? The people today are like children sitting in the market place. One group of children calls to the other group,
โ€” Matthew 11:15-16

Where is the wise person? Where is the educated person? Where is the philosopher of this time? God has made the wisdom of the world foolish. This is what God with his wisdom wanted: The world did not know God through the world's own wisdom. So God used the message that sounds foolish to save the people that believe it. The Jews ask for miracles as proofs. The Greeks want wisdom. But this is the message we tell everyone: Christ was killed on a cross. This message is a big problem to the Jews. And the non-Jews think it is foolish. But Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God to those people that God has called (chosen)โ€”Jews and Greeks (non-Jews). Even the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom. Even the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
โ€” 1 Corinthians 1:20-25

I tell you the truth. You must accept the kingdom of God like a little child accepts things, or you will never enter it."
โ€” Mark 10:15
