He Could Not Be Hidden

"And from thence he arose and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid."  Mark 7:24.  This journey of our Lord appears to be the fartherest away from Palestine that he traveled.  Christ knew well these cities of sinfulness.  However, he states that it will be more tolerable for these cities in the judgment than for others.  Matthew 11:20-22.  It is truly sad when the Christ is rejected.  The house into which Christ entered is not identified.  The scriptures do not always give us the details that we might like to have.  Only important truth is revealed for us.  It appears that Christ sought to be alone for a time.  His life was constant on notice.  But, even here, he could not be hidden.  The light of Jesus shines even in the darkest corner.  Oh, that he would be sought today as he was in that hour.  Christ today needs not to be hidden, but revealed.  Every heart needs to seek him.  Every eye needs to see him.  Every ear needs to hear him.  Every soul needs to receive him.  In our life, let not Christ be hidden, but known and seen.
