How ironic that those who knew Jesus best found it most difficult to accept Him as the Messiah, the only begotten Son of God. Perhaps it was all too good to be true and delightful, that from a small village like Nazareth could come forth the salvation of the human race. The delightful voice of God continues to speak from the most unlikely places, especially where the poor and downtrodden find their home. Though Jesus promises that we will be delighted to see His face when we look at men and women who are poor, we sometimes shy away from those very people, where the "Delight in God" is! Are we any different from the residents of Nazareth?
