I don't usually drive at night. If I do, it must be familiar territory. But I drove to choir rehearsal tonight. I even backed into a parking space without incident! When it was time to leave, I felt peaceful, anticipating a relaxing evening. Yet everything looked blurry when I put on my glasses to drive home. I chuckled when I realized I was wearing my reading glasses instead of distance glasses. I saw much clearer once I had the proper perspective. My husband reminded me to turn on the lights, as well. Daytime running lights are nice, but insufficient for my thirty-minute drive home in the dark.
Our life journey often seems quite blurry, dark and uncertain, too. We don't see the entire perspective from our point of view. We have no idea what lies before us. It can be frightening, stressful and even lonely. What a comfort to know that we do not travel alone.
After Jesus' arrest, He was questioned. During this extremely difficult time, however, Jesus remained focused. He knew Who He was, Who He served and where His future led.
"...Again the high priest asked Him, 'Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?' 'I am,' said Jesus, 'And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.'" Mark 14: 61 > 62
In the middle of great adversity, Jesus firmly adhered to the truth. He was God's Son. He was following God's purpose. And He realized the hope of Heaven. Even facing death, He knew the end of His life on earth was not the end of life with His Father.
When life seem uncertain, there is joy in knowing He is with us. He lights our way with strength and purpose. He gives us hope when our perspective finds none. May we cling to Him as we journey toward Home.♥~thl
