He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 


John 1:10


Yesterday, we saw two ways in which Jesus is different than us. He is infinite (past, present and future); we are finite. He is light; we are darkness.

Today, we see one way in which we are similar to Jesus - He was misunderstood. We get that. We experience the experience of being misunderstood often. Here Jesus meets us face to face - in our misunderstanding, in the ways we are not appreciated, not given what we asking for...there are many ways to say it - the feeling is the same - that emptiness of not being known. Jesus understands that. He made the world and that world rejected him. How awful is that?

Let your moments of misunderstanding therefore bring you to the understanding arms of Jesus. Amen. Amen.
