And they still failed to see It

The Messiah, Himself, standing in the presence of the congregation and reading a Word out of the Bible, pertaining to Himself, and then saying, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled," and they still failed to see It.

Luke 4:21

And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

Now, how could those people ever fail to see Who He was? How did they ever miss it? How could it be, when it was so plainly made known and showed? How could they have ever missed seeing? When He…

What a Word! Think of it, "This day is this Scripture fulfilled before your eyes." Who said it? God Himself, Who is the interpreter of His Own Word. "This day is this Scripture fulfilled." The Messiah, Himself, standing in the presence of the congregation and reading a Word out of the Bible, pertaining to Himself, and then saying, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled," and they still failed to see It.

What a tragedy that that would be, but it’s happened. It’s happened many times. How could it happen? Of course, like it did in other times, by believing man’s interpretation of the Word. That’s what caused it. Those believers in them days, so-called believers, was taking the interpretation of what the priest had said about the Scripture.

Therefore Jesus, not belonging to any of their ranks or their societies, He was excommunicated from their company.  And, therefore, they could not identify Him with them, because He was different from them. The Person of Jesus Christ was so unique that no one should have missed seeing that that was the Son of God, because He was the perfect identification of the Scripture that was wrote of Him.
