I shall be like Him |
Our
Image
Is your image changing to be like that of Christ Jesus? I came across
this little story and it made me wonder how often we think about our image
in the light of Jesus. C.H. Spurgeon was given, by the author, a copy of Andrew Bonar’s
Commentary on Leviticus. Spurgeon was so blessed by the book that he
returned it with a note saying, ‘Dr. Bonar, please place herein your
autograph and your photograph.’ Dr Bonar gave the book back with a note
enclosed saying, ‘Dear Spurgeon, here is the book with my autograph and
with my photograph. If you had been willing to wait a short season, you
could have had a better likeness, for I shall be like Him; I shall see him
as He is.’ The verse quoted is from 1 John ch3 v2 Of course the many ways that we, "will be like Him" will not be captured
by a photograph but some of what we are like on the inside shows on the
outside too! |
