Everyone including the Disciples had trouble recognizing Jesus for who he was. But even despite the miraculous things he did, maybe that isn't too surprising cuz otherwise he looked just like another one of us. How could he be the Son of God if he mainly just looked and sounded and acted like everyone else? To be so much like us would make him seem so very un-divine. But what if everyone around him were all were looking at it the wrong way round? What if the crux of the problem wasn't that he seemed so much like everyone else? But what if it was more that everyone else seemed pretty much just like him?

John 1:3

Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

Reminds me of tetractys.

Psalm 27 Of David

1 The Lord is my light and my salvation—

whom shall I fear?

The Lord is the stronghold of my life—

of whom shall I be afraid?

2 When the wicked advance against me

to devour me,

it is my enemies and my foes

who will stumble and fall.

3 Though an army besiege me,

my heart will not fear;

though war break out against me,

even then I will be confident.

4 One thing I ask from the Lord,

this only do I seek:

that I may dwell in the house of the Lord

all the days of my life,

to gaze on the beauty of the Lord

and to seek him in his temple.

5 For in the day of trouble

he will keep me safe in his dwelling;

he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent

and set me high upon a rock.

6 Then my head will be exalted

above the enemies who surround me;

at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy;

I will sing and make music to the Lord.

7 Hear my voice when I call, Lord;

be merciful to me and answer me.

8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”

Your face, Lord, I will seek.

9 Do not hide your face from me,

do not turn your servant away in anger;

you have been my helper.

Do not reject me or forsake me,

God my Savior.

10 Though my father and mother forsake me,

the Lord will receive me.

11 Teach me your way, Lord;

lead me in a straight path

because of my oppressors.

12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,

for false witnesses rise up against me,

spouting malicious accusations.

13 I remain confident of this:

I will see the goodness of the Lord

in the land of the living.

14 Wait for the Lord;

be strong and take heart

and wait for the Lord.

A.

Amen.

Amen. Amen.

Amen. Amen. Amen.
