Daily Bread – January 27, 2022 (The Fifth Day – Genesis 1:20-23) Mark 6:3 – Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon; and are not His sisters here with us? And they took offense at Him. Part 2 ~ How Do We Perceive Jesus? The most relevant question we have to ask now is: how do we perceive Jesus? Will we judge after what we can see and understand in natural terms, or will we believe the Word of God and know Jesus for Who He really is? Will we make a similar mistake as many Jews did 2000 years ago, and fail to recognize Who Jesus is today? Will we look around, and because we do not see Him, conclude that He is absent and aloof from our everyday lives? Will we fail to recognize how He ministers through His servants, and be unable to realize the fullness of His glory which is in the midst of His Church? (Ephesians 1:22-23; Matthew 16:18; Colossians 1:18,24). With all of the proofs and the testimony of His Word and Spirit, will we fail to recognize the glory and majesty of the Savior? Will we have spiritual eyes to see that Jesus is the Head over all principalities and powers? (Ephesians 1:20-21). Can we see that He sits as the sovereign and absolute power over all things today? Will we believe His Name has all power and authority in Heaven and Earth? (Matthew 28:18-20; Philippians 2:9-10; 1 Peter 3:22). Will we believe His presence and power dwells in each person who has been born of the Spirit? (Colossians 1:27; 2 Corinthians 13:5; 1 John 3:24). Only through knowing Him and doing the will of God are we able to see Him with the spiritual eyes of truth and revelation, and know that all these things are true. Blessings, Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
