Have you ever cleaned out your “stuff?” You go through everything and run across old paperwork. Maybe you find an old book that you forgot you had. Sometimes it is old tools. Then you come across an old picture. It stops you. Maybe it is an old picture of you and one of your parents, a friend, an animal, or school chums. Silence. Memories pour in. Tears. Laughter. Smile.
Pictures capture the moment. They do not capture the feels, you added them. They capture the moment. It is that moment that is special. The person beside you or that animal makes you wish you could go back, if just for a moment.
Jesus was a snap shot of heaven. He brought the glory of the Father to this world for all to see. Sadly, few paid attention. But to the ones that did, good times. When reading the Gospels, you are given a glimpse of God. Treasure it. One day you will see the whole picture. Hopefully, it is up close. Think about it.
