Where's Waldo?

Did you ever play this game when you were a kid?

I didn't for a long time. I didn't even know it was something that was even popular. Where's Waldo wasn't the "In Thing" to do in East Orange where I grew up.

Anyway when I did finally learn about it and tried to find this Waldo guy I had the hardest time. He's right there. Someone would show me the picture of what he looks like in this particular "Where's Waldo" game and I couldn't find him. Staring me in the face and I couldn't find him. I gave up numerous times.

Where we are in our following of Christ is a similar situation for the religious elite questioning Jesus. There He is, the Messiah, right in front of them and they can't see him.

Why is that?

Well, that's what we are going to talk about today.
