The Right Place at the Right Time..

But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear. For truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it. (Matthew 13:16-17 ESV) This was indeed a life-changing day for Matthew. He had seen and heard Jesus point at Him and the other disciples and say: "These are my family. It was on that day that Jesus began to teach in parables and then take the 12 aside to explain them to them. He was in the right place at the right time, seeing and hearing everything the prophets of God had anticipated. But God has placed us in a place of blessing as well. We have a much bigger picture; the Messiah has come; we can freely study and ask questions about the Word of God. We too can be called the children of God. May we thank God for these blessings!!!
