The Blindness of Hatred


Just a short observation.... As I was reading this morning in Luke 22:47-53, I was struck with another powerful illustration of the mercy of Christ.
Though this mob had come to arrest and destroy Him, He concerns Himself with the servant of the High Priest and heals his severed ear!
This act of compassion, evidently, held no sway over these men as they continued to be driven by their blind hatred.
Nevertheless, He who is the light continues to shine in their "hour" and during this time of "the power of darkness".
This is another example of Jesus' own words...."I came not to be ministered to, but to minister".
