"...
the reality, however, is found in Christ." (Colossians 2:17 NIV))
If you have been to the theater or opera at
some point, you have certainly, as I was, been fascinated by the incredible
scenes that were erected on the stage. Everything is so lifelike – a house
facade, a water well on a street, even an entire city. Sometimes you really
experience the feeling that you are in the midst of a real event.
On a study visit
to the opera house in Oslo
many years ago, I had come close to this kind of scenery and it became so
clear, that what appeared from the main auditorium like depth and space in
perspective, was really just an illusion.
Sometimes
people's lives are as though in a drama. It takes place on a stage. Everything
seems to be real, true and pleasing, but when you get beyond the surface, one
can understand that what we thought was the depth and perspective in their
lives, was just scenery.
Today's scripture
verse talks about reality - the true life, which is only found in Jesus Christ.
It is only when we let Him into our lives that life really begins to make
sense, and is not just a drama that’s played out over several years, and then
forgotten.
Prayer
Lord, help me to live today in the reality
that only is found in You. Thank you for wanting to provide a goal and meaning
to my life today. I invite You, and I ask You to be part of everything that
happens in my life today.
