Bible Reading: Exodus 1-2, John 12:36-50
Reel Thoughts:
The story is never over, until God says it's over. Here the children of Israel are, generations later enslaved in a land where they seem to be forgotten. Long ago are the memories of the promises God made them, now all they seem to have is pain and suffering. Same thing for the people in Jesus' day. It was so hard to believe in Jesus as the Messiah at that point (and even in today's day and age for some) because people have lived so long without real hope, they couldn't recognize when the real deal showed up.
Jesus noticed, when push came to shove, the people cared more for human approval than for God's glory. The people would rather trust in the judgement of their peers, or allow culture or society to dictate what's right, rather than find out for themselves. In what world is this order reversed? Only when you experience God for yourself will you fully understand why His word is the only say that matters.
