Blinded by Familiarity
Mark 15:39 (KJV)
And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
The Danger of Familiarity-
⁃ The Loud Chime of the clock
⁃ Living near train tracks
⁃ Hearing Constant Warnings
⁃ Your Pastor’s Voice
One Day-
You No Longer Notice the Time.
One Day-
You No Longer Hear the Horn and Rumbling Walking on Train Tracks.
One Day-
The Warning is Not a Drill
One Day-
The Message Was For You and You Weren’t Listening

⁃ Prophets
⁃ Messengers
⁃ Kings
⁃ Preachers
And Yet At Calvary-
It Was a Pagan Gentile Soldier Who Saw Truth!
“Truly this man was the son of God”
And Not the Very People
Who Were (Familiar)…
