I wonder if we are often like the Lycaonians in Acts 14 who mistook Paul and Barnabas for Hermes and Zeus. They did what we so often do. They saw what God was doing and they interpreted it in light of their cultural heritage and their expectations. This seems perfectly natural, doesn't it?
Just a brief challenge today. Ask yourself what it is the Scripture really says about what you are saying, doing, and seeing. What happens when thta is not mediated by your own experience within your own culture? Does it make our Lord's miraculous nature seem more miraculous? Does it make us realize just how revolutionary our Lord is?
