WHEN "DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE" MEETS "MAKE MY DAY"

JOHN 8:33-59



Pastor Rick Jackson



One of my favorite Christmas Carols is the song "Do You Hear What I hear?" One of the lines gives reference to sight, i.e., "Do you see what I see?" If one person sees something doesn't that open up the possibility of others seeing the same thing? Sometimes individuals refuse to see. Someone has rightly said, "There are none so blind as he who WILL NOT see."
