A veiled view!


When I stood on my balcony and peered down through my Nikon's viewfinder in the dying light at my neighbor's car parked below, I was reminded of what the Apostle Paul wrote about in the Bible. Many times, we do not understand what's happening in the world around us. In our ignorance, we feign to be knowledgeable. This is what the Bible says: "For now we see in a mirror indirectly, but then we will see (God) face to face".The writer was writing this to the readers in the city of ancient Corinth. Corinth was well known in the ancient world for producing some of the finest bronze mirrors. What the writer - Paul - means is that our current understanding and relationship with God is  “indirect”  compared to the relationship we will enjoy with him in the future when we see him “face to face”. Have a great day!
