Wow! What a coincidence that the title of my Devotion on Fire 2 today is "Can you see me!" helping us to understand that all those who are born again Christians should be able to see Jesus, hear Jesus and be with Jesus each day.
Now, in the conclusion of the seven woe of the Pharisees Jesus said they and all those who do not "receive" Jesus as Lord can not see him again.
The Lord reminds me of my shocking experience in April 2002 to someone's office telling him that Jesus wanted me to tell him that he was wrong and I wrote what I got from Jesus during my several daily devotion into my spiritual journey. I opened my spiritual journey and read all those records to him. You know what he said, "Silas, do you want me to believe you that in this age there is someone who can listen to Jesus?" He was a top Christian leader! A Pharisee indeed!
What have you got today from Jesus?

Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage of scripture we have just read. Offer this time up to Jesus as you listen to him, while listening to "Gabriel's Oboe"

What I heard from Jesus today is: You will not see me again until...!
What I got from Jesus today is such a good example of being born again or the opposite, being a Pharisee.
The call to be a born again Christian is to be willing to gather together under Jesus wings like "chicks under a hen's wings".
The wicked task of a Pharisee is to avoid God's children to gather together under Jesus wings, to destroy unity in the name of "unity", to kill, to crucify, to flog, to pursue and to stone the prophets, wise men and teachers.
I have been flogged, stoned, pursued, killed and crucified many times the past so many years! That's the Cross, the journey we cannot avoid if we are born again and willing to follow Jesus all the way to the Cross. If we really follow through each time, then each time we will experience "resurrection" and being filled and anointed by the Holy Spirit to do a new round of His mighty Kingdom work!
So, are you ready, born again Christians? Rise up, let's go!
Jesus says to you now, "You will not see me again until you are born again and be willing to follow me to the Cross! Are you coming?"

Dear Lord Jesus,
Lead us to follow you to the Cross so that we can see you each day. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
