Mark 8:18
“Do you have eyes and not see, ears and not hear?”
When Jesus asks this question of us today…do we not have to answer an emphatic, “ABSOLUTELY!” I will only speak for myself…but I know how many times God has pulled the rug out from under my “certainty” about understanding that which is mystery. Mystery is mystery! Beware of people who give you pat answers of certainty in the realm of mystery. If you had the answer…well then…there would be no need to take the journey that God wants you to take so as to lead you to transformation. Pat answers will not transform you. Good questions…just might! Following Jesus requires the humility to admit we don’t know…and willingness to be changed. Dear God, open my eyes to see…and my ears to hear!
