Not what we are looking for

As the arresting party came to seize Jesus, He came out to meet them and asked, “Whom seek ye?” They replied, Jesus of Nazareth. Then Jesus said unto them, “I am he.” As soon as they heard this, they went backward and felt to the ground. Perhaps He wasn’t what they were looking for. Perhaps they were looking for some sort of common thief who would try to escape as soon as he would see his end was near, but what they found was something completely different. As they met the Son of God, the only thing they could do was to fall to the ground in awe. This makes me think of life. Many times things are not what we are looking for. However, the things that bring the most joy in my life are those priceless treasures that come disguised in very simple things =)
