Luke 4:22 “So all bore witness to Him, and marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, “Is this not Joseph’s son?”
They could not understand how a man like Jesus could have the knowledge and wisdom He had. They didn’t know Him, they just thought they did. Ah, and that mistake is made all the time. We as humans think we know each other too, but are often mistaken. We want to feel that we have the inside track on our peers, and yet we often don’t even understand the basic motives of their hearts. They asked this question because they had thought that they knew this man, but they hadn’t.
Heavenly Father, give us Your mercy. We will live to rely on Your wisdom and not ours, for we are so limited. We will look to you for answers rather than our human judgement which is so faulty. We will give You all the praise for how You lead us. Thank You! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
