We think if we can say God here is my heart and look aside and we think God is going to accept it forget it. It's like a husband who gives a wife a present whilst he is looking the other way. Even though the heart is there but the manner in which it was offered, makes it difficult to accept even though the gift is beautiful.
The more I have thought about it, though, the more I am convinced that this would-be disciple had very sound reasons for asking what he did, especially in that eastern culture.

(Genesis 47:25)
Now, here is a people who have been hearing about, praying for, and looking for this great Messiah, the Savior of their people, the King of Kings... man, they're ready for a major blow-out power party and trumpets blowing and all the pomp and circumstance of the most powerful King ever known to come save their day... and here is this poor man that walks up, from the "wrong side of the tracks", dirty from walking in the dry hot desert, hair ratty and tangled and dusty, and we are told that He was not spectacular or incredibly handsome... the son of just some carpenter that some of them know from this city that isn't regarded with much respect socially, and he walks up and claims to be the King of Kings, the Messiah that you've listened to your grandparents, your parents, and teachers talk about as a great hero...this is the Lamb of God, God's Son, the Hope of Hopes that we've been waiting on?
