Job 37:23-24
As for the Almighty, we cannot find Him; He is excellent in power,
in judgment and abundant justice; He does not oppress. Therefore men fear Him;
He shows no partiality to any who are wise of heart.
Job will not accept anything blindly; he
says, “I must see that it does not contradict what I know.” The apostle Paul
speaks of “the foolishness of God” as pitted against the wisdom of men… When the Judaic ritualists saw Jesus
Christ, they said, “You are a blasphemer; You do not express God at all.” Anna
and Simeon were the only two of the descendants of Abraham who recognized who
Jesus was, hence the condemnation of the crowd… which did not see Him because
they had become blinded on the line of absolute authority, the line of
symbolism or creed….and when that which was symbolized [actually] appeared,
they could not see Him.
