Deliverer

He was in the world and though the world was made through Him the world did not recognise Him. He came to His own and His own did not receive Him. Jn 1:10,11

Again John tells us that the world was made through Him. Verse 3 tells us that through Him all things were made. Jesus was not removed from them, distant, harsh, judgemental. He was caring, miraculous, personable. He did not part the sea or rain down quail from heaven, He ate with them and touched lives.

The Jews were expecting more of the same, a mighty deliverer who would, again, set them free from oppression.

The oppression Jesus offered to set captives free from was one of isolation from God. They were not interested.

What do you expect from God? Are you wanting one who delivers from circumstances of your making, or the making of others? Or do You want to know Him?

Knowing Him is miraculous in itself because He comes into your heart and abides with you, strengthens you, guides you. He does not rob you, that's the other guy.
