So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly." – John 10:24 (ESV)
He did tell them, but they didn’t believe (v. 25). We have an idea of how God should act, but if this view is not informed by Scripture then several things occur. On the lighter end of the scale, we miss out on what God is doing. We have limited our Lord on what we think He is doing and now we are now either non-participants or even opponents of His work. More seriously, we are idolaters; we are now worshiping something that isn’t God, but some god we have constructed in our own minds. Lord Jesus, give us a clear vision of who You are, so we can worship You rightly.
