Life is full of changes. Started taking some graduate courses on-line a few weeks ago and had to let my "blogging" slide. Hopefully, I can be a little more regular.
Still from the book of Revelation and the image of Jesus in Chapter one where he is pictured as one who head and hair were as white as wool -- as white as snow.
I picture in my own feeble mind, John seeing this image and shading his eyes from the brightness that he is beholding. I think that would be my reaction.
How could/can I even begin to behold the countenance of the Son of God? After all, He said, "He who has seen me has seen the Father." Then we learn that no one can see God and live.
The light of purity and holiness is too far beyond us. There is nothing sinister or evil about Jesus. We can't begin to approach God much less gaze upon Him because we are blinded by his stark holiness contrasted with our sinful darkness.
But, somehow we can come to Him. John sees Him. It is by this very one who illuminates everything, that we can come to the Father. He paved the way. The light is not there to blind us, but to show us the way!
Show me the way!
Be Strong and Courageous,
L.T.
