John 1:26 (NKJV) 26 John answered them, saying, \u201cI baptize with water, but there stands One among you whom you do not know.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThere stands One among you whom you do not know\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

At the time that John the Baptist proclaimed the coming of the Messiah, he told the people that He was, in fact, already standing among them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Jesus had come and was among the people from time to time. But they failed to recognize Him. It was John\u2019s calling and duty to make Him known to everyone who would listen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In those days, it\u2019s easy to see why Jesus could walk among them and not be seen for who He was. Without prophetic insight, or a direct word from God, it would not be easy to recognize One who looked just like the rest of them and quietly mixed in with the crowds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How is it for us today? Do we fail to recognize Him, even when He is in the midst of us?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Do many of today\u2019s churches become so caught up in their programs, plans and activities that they leave Jesus standing outside, peering in through the windows, waiting to be invited in?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Do we as individuals keep Him shut out as we scurry around with our busy lives, and then wonder why \u201cHe doesn\u2019t show up\u201d when we want Him for something?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

These are important things to ponder on and seek the counsel of the Holy Spirit about.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s easy to\u00a0say<\/em>\u00a0that we have Jesus living actively in our lives. It\u2019s yet another thing to actually be\u00a0doing<\/em>\u00a0it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Let\u2019s make sure that we have truly opened the door to Him and let Him in.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Revelation 3:20 (NKJV) 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
