This morning I saw a TV segment about a photographer who gets very close to the wildlife of Africa. His pictures were beautiful. I thought that one of the reasons was because his subject matter was striking. I’m not discounting his skills but I know from my journey to the Holy Land that some of my pictures were amazing – not because I knew what I was doing with a camera but because the subject matter was itself amazing. After someone complimented me on my Easter sermon, I thought how could it not be exciting? The subject matter is beautiful and exciting. I am merely telling the story. Like a photographer, I try to put the subject in the best light, to find the best angles and to make something that reveals the qualities of the subject to those with whom I can share it. We who love Jesus can all do that. Isaiah 52:7 says, “How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
Heavenly God, We ask you to help us tell your beautiful amazing story to others. And we ask you to continue to help us become part of the story ourselves. In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.
