Sermon Excerpt

There are all the things that you can see. Then, there is all that you can't see. You can see a mother caring for her child, some guy shooting innocent people, a coach encouraging his team, politicians passing laws and others breaking them. But that is not all of reality. It's only part of the picture. You need the rest of the picture to really grasp reality. Jesus also saw how knowing becomes wisdom, why God blesses some and not others, where His culture got it right and where it got it wrong. Those are also parts of reality, but parts that you can't see with your eyes. You need to see the whole picture if you're going to grasp reality. Jesus could see reality, all of reality. That was His protection. You need to follow His lead. You need to see all of reality. That is your protection.
