John 1:11

11 He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him.

One of the themes of John’s Gospel is that the Jews missed their Messiah. Why?

Well, John is concerned with showing us the grievous effects of spiritual blindness—you can be so blinded by pride and sin that you miss what is most obvious right in front of you.

PRAYER OF THE DAY

“Lord, if there is something in my life I’ve been blinded to, please make it clear to me today.”
