ODB MESSAGE FOR TODAY
Richard Griffin was Queen Elizabeth II’s personal police officer for fourteen years. Accompanying her on a picnic in the hills near Balmoral Castle one day, they met two American hikers. “Have you ever met the Queen?” they asked, not recognising the monarch in plain dress. “I haven’t,” the Queen quipped, “but Richard here meets her regularly!” Thrilled to meet someone close to royalty, the hikers then handed the Queen their camera, posed with Richard and asked her to take a photo!
It isn’t the first time someone has been in the presence of an important person unawares. “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it,” Jacob said after encountering God in a dream at Bethel (Genesis 28:16).
And when Philip asked Jesus to show the disciples the Father, Jesus replied, “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father” (John 14:9). Like the hikers, the disciples had been ready to hand Jesus the camera, not recognising He was the One to zoom in on (vv. 10-11).
Like the Queen that day, Jesus hasn’t always been recognised for who He really is. Beyond a wise teacher or great moral leader, He’s God in the flesh and King of the world (1:14; 18:36). What a revelation it is when we discover it!
Reflect & Pray
What would you say to Jesus if you met Him on a picnic trip? Who do you understand Him to be?
Dear Jesus, I praise You today for being the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and far more than I can ever grasp.
