Why Can't I See Clearly?


Why Can't I See Clearly?

"and all flesh shall see the salvation of God..."
Luke 3:6

The promises of Isaiah as proclaimed by John seem so easy. The Lord will come and all flesh shall see the salvation of God. Everything will become clear. All nations and tongues will confess. And yet here I am once again struggling to understand. I am writing the last pages of my dissertation and things seem even more complicated than when I began. I suppose that was always a part of John's message. Perhaps, like John we need to wander occasionally into the wilderness of despair and confusion to hear afresh the words of God.
