2 Corinthians 4:5-6 ...the glory of God in the face of Jesus...
As an aside to the last couple of posts...I have often wondered, as a dad, if Jesus' Father in heaven looked down with the same fatherly pride in His eyes as Jesus, a 1 year old (God) child, stumbled across the humble shack of Joesph and Mary?
Did He looked at the boy sitting in the temple asking just the right questions to educated scholars and shake His head in encouraging agreement?
Did He smile as the young man grew in wisdom and stature, turned water to wine, raised the dead, walked on water, with the weary... towards the cross?
I wonder if God the Father, moments before He would turn His eyes away from His beloved Son, gasped at the beauty of the work (of art) that was about to be completed?
And when Jesus arose...
I wonder if the Father stopped all that He was doing...
If He stood with His fiery eyes focused on His only begotten Son...
And clapped His mighty hands in honor, praise and applause at the glory of the masterpiece before Him that was now completed...
And could we hear, if we had been listening, the roars of the oceans and lions saying...
"That's my Son!"
"In HIM I AM is WELL PLEASED!"
so that all creation could hear and see the beauty of the man of sorrows... Jesus... the Son of God.
I know that's what I would do if it were my kids.
