Earlier this afternoon, a friend of mine called me and told me there was a solar halo around the sun. I went outside to photograph it as best as I could; I set the aperture dark for the detail work.My friend’s fiance called me up later and he shared with me how nobody sees a solar halo in the same way. Apparently, this phenomena is so bright that everyone’s eyes register it differently, no two cameras could capture it in the same way but yet everybody sees the halo. So it is in the Christian life. We all see the same Jesus Christ but the Lord Himself knew in advance how we would all see Him differently in how we reach. Let me explain:- When philosopher C. S. Lewis met Jesus, he saw Jesus among a group of Christians who wanted to have a beer with him.- When wrestler Shawn Michaels met Jesus, he saw Jesus through the prayers of his loving wife.- Many Roman Catholics and Greek Orthodox Christians meet Jesus, they see Him through His majesty as expressed in the liturgy.- Many Protestant Christians see Jesus during the worst possible moments of their lives. Some see the reality of Hell—the utter torment of saying “No” to the love of God for all eternity—as a means of coming to know Jesus. Others have supernatural experiences.Although the road is different for each believer, everyone sees the cross of Calvary on high and the empty tomb: the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. There are some Christians who will never make tent revivals, run masses, or do missionary work but people will see Jesus Christ in them.

Dude, I’m inspired.
