In His right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword; and His face was like the sun shining in its strength.
When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man And He placed His right hand on me, saying, “Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last,
and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.
Revelation 1:16-18
Father, it is so easy to limit Christ to the images we see in paintings or in movies. It is easy to make Him into our image – fully man but not fully God.
Lord, as I try to share my view of our Savior in words or images, help me to share a more complete picture of Christ: risen, powerful, beyond simple description. Help me to define the indefinable.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen
