Familiarity Breeds Contempt



I have to say that when I saw these Three Little Words I was perplexed!  But after reading the scripture I realized it is stating what is, rather than what should be.  In Jesus' case people were put off by His message (they did not want to have to change their ways) and therefore held him in contempt.  In the Daniel passage I think it speaks more to the complacency that people fall into, and they never heed God's calling.  They die and will wake up to find themselves outside God's kingdom.
