Distorted Image

Have you ever had a younger brother or sister bring a drawing to you and excitedly ask you what you think? If they are drawing some animal, you may have no idea what the drawing is supposed to be. Imagine if their distorted image of a giraffe is all you knew. You would never recognize a real giraffe. However, once you see a giraffe, you can see how your sibling’s image is a poor attempt at reflecting that. The same is true with Christians. If we look to other believers to know what God is like, we will get a distorted picture. However, if we look to Christ to know what God is like, then we will see God and be able to appreciate the work God is doing in other people’s lives.
