Bible Reading: Genesis 28-30; John 7:25-53
Reel Thoughts
If you look back at all the "cast of characters" in today's bible reading you'll notice a common theme. Jacob was a liar and thief. Esau wanted to kill his brother. The leaders of Jesus' day were out to both arrest and kill him, and the people couldn't fully bring themselves to believe that something good could come from Galilee. Today's reading is filled with people who don't seem to deserve God's love, yet God still makes promises and reaffirms his love for them. In response to man's doubt and self-inflicted adversity, God still waits for us to get our acts together to respond to His call. Isn't it clear yet that God isn't looking for perfect people (what would a perfect man need from God anyway)?
