EYEWITNESSES OF HIS MAJESTY
We can live next to something for a lifetime, but unless we take time to focus on it, it doesn't become a part of our life. Unless we somehow have our blindness lifted, our world is like a blind cave.
        Think about it.Just because one has witnessed a thousand rainbows doesn't mean he's seen the grandeur of one. One can live near a garden and fail to focus on the splendor of the flowers. A man can spend a lifetime with a woman and never pause to look into hers soul. And a person can be all that goodness calls him to be and still never see the author of life.
          Being honest or moral or even religious doesn't necessarily mean we will see him. No. We may see what others see in him. Or we may hear what some say he said. But until we see him for ourselves, until our own sight is given, we may think we see him, having in reality seen only a hazy form in gray semidarkness.
         Have you seen him?
         Have you caught a glimpse of his majesty?
 The man.The bronzed Galilean who spoke with such thunderous authority and loved with such childlike humility.
The God. The one who claimed to be older than time and greater than death.
Gone is the pomp of religion; dissipated is the fog of theology. Momentarily lifted is the opaque curtain of controversy and opinion.Erased are our own blinding errors and egotism. And there he stands.
JESUS.
Have you seen him?
Does who first did were never the same.
"My Lord and my God!" cried Thomas.
"I have seen the Lord," exclaimed Mary Magdalene.
"We have seen his glory," declared John.
"were not our hearts burning within us while he talked?" rejoiced the two Emmaus-bound disciples
But Peter said it best."We were eyewitnesses of his majesty." The emperor of Judah. The soaring eagle of eternity. The noble admiral of the kingdom. All the splendor of heaven revealed in a human body. For a period ever so brief, the doors to the throne room were open and God came near.
