The birth and death of Jesus are similar in the sense that everyone seems to be oblivious to what is really going on. The weird thing is that someone should have had known, especially as it relates to Jesus' death.
Have you seen the Arby's commercial where people have an Arby's logo on their heads because they are thinking of Arby's? In the story of Jesus' death everyone--and I mean everyone--is walking around with a big question mark on their head. The biggest thing in the world is happening right in front of them and no one has a clue...not even those who knew Him and loved Him the most. Even the people He told what would happen could not seem to figure out why things were playing out as they did.
How could this be?
It ought to scare us a little...Christ Followers missing something big God is doing. Could you and I miss out on something big? Can we get distracted and busy and caught up with life? Could we think we are so right only to discover we could not have been more wrong? Yes, unfortunately.
Thankfully God won't leave us in the dark for too long. All of our doubts will eventually become opportunities to touch his wounds and prove his words. Humility is the key. May none of us ever assume we have it all figured out. We may actually discover that all along we have been oblivious to something really big.
