To See What We See
“For truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.” (Matthew 13:17)
It is easy to forget how good we’ve got it. Things that we take for granted just one or two generations ago were unheard of. Less than four generations ago, nothing traveled faster than a horse. Less than three generations ago, most people didn’t have indoor plumbing. Two generations ago existed without microwaves, and just one generation ago, we didn’t have the internet or any other instant information technology.
Most of human civilization lived without the gospel of Jesus Christ. No Sermon on the Mount. No message of heaven and forgiveness in Christ. No hope and anchor for the soul. They were left to wait for the Messiah who hadn’t yet been revealed.
We are blessed with what prior generations would have never imagined possible. Don’t take for granted the gift.
