Mark 8:18
Jesus continues and asks his disciples some of the same questions he had asked the unbelieving Jews. He is saying that anyone with eyes and ears was inexcusable if they had missed the facts. The disciples had seen the truth with their own eyes. They had watched as Jesus multiplied the bread. The had seen him do countless miracles. They had heard his teaching and listened as he spoke to each of them on various occasions. They were right there in the middle of everything, so to speak.
He asks them also if they remembered. We often tend to have a very selective memory. We remember what makes sense to us, what fits in our grid. But, the things that we don’t really process fully get pushed out to the edges and forgotten.
Heavenly Father, forgive us for our selective memory and slow understanding! Your truth is wonderful and we are blessed to have it. You have given us all we need for this life, and life to come. You are gracious and loving to us. It is a glory to you that you have done so much for us. Your love matches your holiness. Thank you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
