– There’s a poetic symbolism when we use rays of light as an illustration. We all need the sun for our survival; we need its light and it’s warmth. But it is too bright, too far, too hot – we can’t reach up and grab the sun. The beams that radiate it’s light solve our problem. They bring us the light and warmth we need without burning us. Just as a ray of the sun reaches down from its source to the earth below, Christ reaches down and overcomes the colossal divide between God and man. While being God Himself, He stretched down and met us where we are – all the while sparing us from viewing His full shekinah glory, which is too brilliant for human beings to behold. As Christ shines upon us, He reveals the glory of God and bathes us in it! –

Preach it, Amy, preach it! May the light of Jesus warm your life today.
