Thoughts to Consider:
- Perception is a Reality is a half-truth; as Christians we are to accurately perceive the Truth
- Jesus, rejoicing in the Holy Spirit, thanks the Father for both the hiding and the revealing
- The Triumphal Entry (Luke 19:28-44) shows the degree of misperception by followers and Jewish leaders
- Misperceiving the Truth is fatal.
21 In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. 22 All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”
23 Then turning to the disciples he said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see! 24 For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.”
— Luke 10:21-24
