First let me say Happy New Year to all the readers!!
Today, i've been thinking about how Christ really looks. I've often said that we know SOME about the Christ in heaven, however, we know VERY LITTLE about the Christ HERE...THE CHURCH! Does the church resemble the one that walked amoung us? I don't think so...for the most part. Seeing Christ can be a shocking thing!! I remember a few years ago listening to a certain person on the radio. I listened every day and I really had a mental picture of what I thought He looked like. Every time I would hear this person's voice, I would see him in my mind. This went on for months before I actually met him. I just knew he looked JUST LIKE the person in my mind...HOWEVER, I was no where close! I couldn't believe my eyes! The voice matched but the face wasn't even close! I just couldn't belive it!! This is the way we are with Christ. We have things drawn up in our minds that are simply not true. When we really actually SEE the Real Christ, we are shocked and can't believe it!
Remember, Mary didn't know Him in the Garden. The very Christ stood before her and she thought He was a gardener (John 20:15). She had been with Him BUT she didn't know him. She knew Him from only ONE WAY...the way she had always known him. Now, the resurrected Christ stands before her and she don't know who He is. Folks, this happends all the time TO US! How many times has He stood before us and we didn't know Him? We have a mind-set of how He looks and we can't see Him for who He REALLY IS. Our religious minds are God's worse enemy. Mary knew Him 3 days ago, but now, she thinks He is someone else....wow...this blows my mind!! Ask God to reveal Himself to you and fasten your seat belt! But don't be suprised if He leads you to people....
Just Thinking Again....
