Judging by appearances, it's easy to conclude that God is either inactive or absent in our world. That's no surprise considering he removed his visible presence from our world long ago. Thankfully, we don't have to trust our eyes to know where God is and what he is up to in our world. God is still at work, especially when it looks like he isn't. This week we see how our eyes lie to us when it comes to the reception the gospel of Jesus receives in our world. When people reject the gospel, we would assume that Jesus and his mission have failed. However, Jesus has proven and continues to prove that he uses this rejection to bring the gospel to more and more people. When it’s all said and done, Jesus will have worked through all things—including rejection of the gospel—to bring his people home.
