The crowd grumbled because they knew Jesus' family. He told them their problem wasn't Nazareth. It was their hearts. Only the Father brings a man to the Son, and the Son raises every man the Father brings. https://thedailyman.org/devotions/john/2026-10-25-drawn-by-the-father/
Dress up on Halloween if you want. Dress up in July too. But a Christian doesn't play the witch, the medium, or the demon, not even for one night. You don't wear what God calls an abomination as a joke. Costumes are fine. Celebrating darkness isn't.
