445. Missing Jesus- The People of Nazareth (Week 3) // Sng Peh Han

The City SG Podcast

“Advent is not merely about waiting but about cultivating the discipline of not becoming overfamiliar and the readiness to embrace the mystery when it is revealed.” - @pehhan82 In week 3 of the series ‘Missing Jesus’, Ps. Peh Han taught from Luke 4:16-22, where the people of Nazareth, influenced by their preconceived ideas about Jesus due to their close familiarity with Him, allowed this to shape their perception and, ultimately, caused them to miss the truth. Being so accustomed to the religious traditions and expectations have led them to spiritual blindness and an inability to recognise Jesus as the anointed One. He invited us to ponder if we have failed to use our spiritual eyes in our relationships with people and God, where our assumption of knowledge and resistance to the unfamiliar have hindered us from moving into a new arena of faith and into deeper revelation of God. May we examine our hearts and reflect if there is any overfamiliarity that has led to unbelief and prevented us from missing the divine in the everyday. Let it be our prayer to abide and remain in that posture of awe and wonder as we seek Him out in our daily lives. #wearethecitysg #sundaysatthecitysg
