Then when they were alone, [Jesus] turned to the disciples and said, "Blessed are the eyes that see what you have seen. I tell you, many prophets and kings longed to see what you see, but they didn't see it. And they longed to hear what you hear, but they didn't hear it."
—Luke 10:23-24 NLT
The apostles were common men given an incredible blessing. They were blessed to be able to see God's greatest promise fulfilled and embodied in Jesus. We have received their testimony to this Word, this fulfillment of God's promises, in the Gospels. We are incredibly blessed, indeed. Jesus is the tuning fork of all revelation and the fulfillment of all of God's plans. If we are going to understand Scripture and God's plan for our lives and our salvation, we begin with Jesus. Let's rejoice at the privilege of living in the light of the glory of Christ.
Father, how can I ever thank you properly for the incredible grace of knowing Jesus, and in knowing Jesus, understanding your incredible love and grace? Never let me lose my sense of wonder at knowing Jesus, in whose name I offer my devotion, thanks, and praise. Amen.
