Meditations from Zion

“That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched–this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.” I John 1:1

Can you imagine what it would have been like… to hear, see and touch the man, Jesus? But I ask you… Would His voice remain in the aural memory? Or, like a loved one, long dead, would the voice go lost? Would his face always be emblazoned on the retina? Or, like friends we haven’t seen for a long time, become a mushy blur? Would the feel of his skin … or his scent … or his gait … would any of these remain? Unfortunately, though God He was, we would probably forget the details. No, our faith in Him would not make a sharper image. Our faith allows Him to be all things… to be in all and through all. It gives Him a multi-dimensionality. Personally, I never heard, saw or touched Jesus… and yet, in my spirit, when I am truly focused on Him… I think I do… see, hear & touch… it’s better than a memory.
