"How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the
only God?"
~ John 5:44
"The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost."
~ Luke 19:10
The enchantment of our souls is so profound and deep that we fail to see the Glory Owner and Giver. That is ultimate tragedy in the face of the Revealed Son of God, Jesus Christ, even as we have come to know Him.
We are still deeply enchanted by other than Him.
I take deepest comfort and assurance that Jesus knows and hence since came to seek and save. He is the reason we celebrate Advent and eventually Christmas. The search and rescue mission tells me of the active nature of God in the salvation of His People. He waits not for us to reach to Him for we utterly cannot! Yet He did it in such a way we increasingly desire Him that we want all of Him.
