Then they invite him to dinner. Now up to this point they are using their freewill.<br />but despite what ever will they may have, is it mute.. because they are not cognizant of who they are really entertaining, they cannot and will not, re-CONGNZE Jesus by virtue of the will, free or otherwise. This is the best case scenario. they are believers.. the outcome of the revelation is wholly dependent upon Jesus himself. we see that Jesus left them in a state of ignorance for a short time, and the tension builds in the narrative, begging the question when are they going to see the master? moral of the story?, Revelation; depends less upon the will of man, and more upon the Mercy of God. <br />i bring this up for this reason, the will of man can only respond to what it perceives.<br />the blind cannot choose between what is in front of him or what is behind him, if he does not know what, if anything, exist in those places. <br />Bobnoreply@blogger.com
