Do you see the 1 in the 120 million?
Jesus saw the unseen throughout his time on earth — and still does. People who had fallen through the cracks of society reached out to him and he responded. Some yelled, like blind Bartimaeus. Others didn’t speak but their actions were loud. Like the men who lowered the paralyzed man through a hole in the roof. Remember the woman at the well? Jesus saw her and transformed not only her life but also the lives of others in her town.
Today, do you see the unseen around you?
The Christmas message was first given to the unseen — shepherds keeping watch over their flock at night. It was they who ran to see Jesus, worshiping the King of kings in a lowly manger. Throughout his time on earth, Jesus saw the unseen. People who had fallen through the cracks of society called out to him and he responded.
