This unusual clock caught my attention today. Its not that it is all THAT UNUSUAL, its just that the filters that highlight the hours and minutes reminded me of this passage from the Gospel of John.John 9:39-41 (WEB)
39) Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, that those who don’t see may see; and that those who see may become blind.”
40) Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?”
41) Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
(John 9:39-41, WEB)
In one way or another, we all go through life with filters (blinders) on. Its human nature to focus on certain things and ignore others. One of my son-in-laws was wearing a cast and just decided one day to take it off. When I asked him about it he said something like: "I just ignore the pain". Frankly, I don't know how he can do that, but he does!! Likewise, some people just ignore Jesus and go about their life as if he doesn't exist. That is, until they grow very old or become very sick. When that happens, all of a sudden they become spiritual and are willing to address their lives with a view to making things right with God. Don't wait; tomorrow could be the day something really bad happens. Only problem is... put yourself in God's shoes... How do you think he views a last minute "turn around"? One can only wonder!! Better to get rid of the filters now... and not take any chances.
