When the godly succeed, everyone is glad.

When the wicked take charge, 

people go into hiding.

Proverbs 28:12 NLT

Do we get a glimpse of Jesus here?

When he was wandering around, did people go into hiding?

Zacchaeus was out looking for Jesus, and he invited himself home for lunch.

The woman at the well was out doing her everyday thing when Jesus went looking for her. 

Others sought him out for their own sake or the sake of others. 

Some sought him out from fear. Fear of losing their power. 

Some wished that things Jesus exposed had remained hidden, some went away disappointed, but no one went into hiding. 

With the benefit of knowing Jesus, this proverb encourages us to be people around who others don't have to hide. 

We can be people who where hiding, putting on a mask, being someone we're not, isn't needed. 

Jesus was all about being real, getting to the heart. He's the one who does that completely for us, the place of no hiding and true gladness. 

Yes there's a glimpse of him here in this proverb...
