Jesus said to his disciples, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see! For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.” This is a blessing for which Jesus thanked God, “I think you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children”, and it is a blessing that we have also. We need to have the attitude of little children, trusting in our Father to help and guide us, growing to be like Him.
Like children, we should love our God with all our heart, soul, strength and mind. It’s a love that is reflected in the way we treat our neighbour, a love that the Samaritan demonstrated in his actions towards the people around him. Let’s respond to the blessing God has given us in revealing His purpose, by the way we treat those around us.
