'He came unto his own, and his own received him not.'
This must be one of the saddest verses in the Bible. perhaps many of us have felt excluded at times from those to whom we feel we should belong, chiefly family, but also friends and colleagues and associates, exiled and rejected for who knows what reason.
Here the Lord was not recognised by the world he created. Blinded by self, sinful mankind could not see God in His own creation. Engrossed by petty concerns people simply sought the aid of the nearest idol, some saint Anthony, or some State Agency, or some Ideology 'ism' to help them through the day.
Things have not changed much today. As society collapses and service and sacrificial love seemingly become obsolete, and mankind thinks only of gratification, all around us we hear atheists prattling on in their stupidity and immaturity, peddling their evil, rejecting the Lord, blinded by self and hate.
