In today’s Gospel, in regards to Jesus, who is speaking in Jerusalem, some inhabitants say, “But we know where he is from. When the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from.” It appears as if these inhabitants had created their own image of Christ in their minds and had a set expectation of who Christ should be. Jesus responds by explaining, "You know me and also know where I am from. Yet I did not come on my own, but the one who sent me, whom you do not know, is true. I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me." Jesus tries to explain to them that although they might know which town he is from, they do not realize that God is true and he sent Jesus. In the busyness of our own lives, I feel that God’s presence tends to go unnoticed. It is so easy to forget how God’s hand may have influenced something good that may have happened to us. This Lenten season, it is important for us to continue to acknowledge God’s presence in our own lives and the lives of those around us. Today, I ask you to reflect on something good, no matter how big or small, that happened to you yesterday. Can you recognize God’s presence in your day?
