John 7:41-42
41Others said, "He is the Christ." Still others
asked, "How can the Christ come from Galilee? 42Does not scripture say
that the Christ will come from David's family and from Bethlehem, the town where David lived?"
There
were many questions about Jesus' origin. As you may have read in
scripture the questions some asked were indeed answered in the history
of His birth. But at the time, the history and prophesies fulfilled
seemed far fetched to many. The obvious really would've been obvious if
just one question was asked and to the one it needed to be asked of.
Both Mary and Joseph were of the family line of David. That is why they
had to go to Bethlehem during the time of the census. Mary went into
labor and had Jesus in Bethlehem. So if only the right questions were
asked, the identity of who the doubters were in the presence of may have
been resolved.
Is the obvious really obvious in your life? Has
Jesus made something so plain that you have missed it because there was
one question you missed? We are in Holy week. The last week of Jesus'
earthly ministry. There was so much during that week that was made
obvious that it was missed by some until after Christ had been
glorified. The Christ was in their presence all along and many missed
it. What has Jesus shown you that you obviously missed?
