(Jesus continued) “And the Father who sent Me has Himself borne witness to Me, His voice you have never heard, His form you have never seen; and you do not have His word abiding in you, for you do not believe Him whom He sent.” Luke 5:37, 38

Lord ….. Your example is perfect. It shows us what to do when those around us do not believe in us. These Jews did not believe You. They were more willing to argue with You than to accept and believe who You were. You kept trying to tell them but their ears were closed.

Thank You Lord that You still call us today to come and follow You.

Thank You for changing our lives when we say ‘yes’ to You.

Oh to be like You Lord is our cry.
