For How Long - Part 1

Published: 15 February 2012

Do you think much about the appearing of Christ? Does that idea fill your head and your heart much? Do you remember The Miracle Maker, an animated version of Luke’s gospel? When I was in the cinema watching this beautiful portrayal of Christ’s life, albeit in animated clay, I found myself crying. I don’t often cry in films but I just found myself weeping. I was trying to work out why I was crying and I think it was because The Miracle Maker was so well done I was getting a little flickering glimmer of Jesus Christ in flesh. I think I was getting a tiny little premonition of what it was going to be like to see him face to face, what it was going to be like when he appears. And I found myself just looking forward to that moment so much. Do you do that?
