They couldn’t see that He was the God they had come to meet. That was their challenge. All those town folk knew Jesus. They had grown up with him and watched him grow up. And now, here he was, in their synagogue. They had all gathered there on Sabbath to hear from God, but they couldn’t see that the one they had come for, was now standing in front of them.
How often is this also true of us? Like the people from Jesus’ hometown, we can’t see God.
