I've been reading John again and there's always something that strikes me no matter how many times I read. John 7: 53 says "and everyone went to his own house." (after a long day I guess). 8:1 says "Jesus went to the Mt. of Olives." As Luke relates Jesus' own words (9:58) the Son of Man didn't even have a place to lay his head. So I'm thinking, The King of Creation, Son of God was born on the floor of an animal stall, for 3 years slept on the ground, rejected by most of His own blood kin, hated by His church, and died naked in pain in front of His Momma to save us from ourselves. I can scarcely lift my eyes to heaven as I ponder this. My own "righteousness" is truly a filthy rag. Create a clean heart in me O Lord, and renew a steadfast spirit within me today.
