4th Friday of Lent

 

Where are you from?

One of the first things we often ask someone when we first meet them is,

“Where are you from?”

Because this tells us a lot about the person.

Where was Jesus from?

People thought they knew.

They thought He was from Nazareth;

The son of a carpenter.

And so they could ignore His claims to be the Messiah.

Jesus however tries to tell them where He is REALLY from.

He is from God.

And since He is from God,

He knows God.

But since the people themselves were not from God,

And therefore did not know God,

They rejected Him.

Only those who know God

Will know Jesus

And will Know that Jesus comes from God.

But to know someone,

You have to spend time with them!
