Deer in the Headlight Look

We may or may not see how we appear to others, but do we think about how we appear to God?

Be honest and ask yourself, before viewing Mel Gibson's "Passion of the Christ," how many would have seen the Fathers' view of His ONLY BEGOTTEN SON on The Cross. How many would have seen the first rain drop as a compassionate tear from Gods' eye? A tear shed for all humanities sake?

How about the movie "The Acts?" The particular scene that I am referring to is the Emmaus walk. When Jesus sat with Cleopas, and another of the latter disciples for dinner after a seven mile trek on the way to Emmaus. The Bible says, "And it came to pass, as He sat at meat with them, He took bread, blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. And their eyes were opened, and they knew Him; and He vanished out of their sight." (Luke 24:30 & 31 -KJV)

Honestly before that movie did you see what the rest of us saw? I saw the fleshy, carnal side of myself that limits my faith. If you haven't seen that movie you should! I will not ruin the movie for you unless you invite me to. (Smile)

So if you met an angel and knew for a fact that it was an angel would you have that deer in the headlight look? Hopefully you would not have a holier than thou look and try to use the angel like a genie. But what would you do if you had an encounter with an angel. What if Christ came back and dwelled among us for one more season? Now that's not doctrinal or Biblical concerning short term. The next time He returns it will be for the long haul. But just saying as self proclaimed faithful people do we place Christ into every action and conversation? Or do we allow ourselves to be improperly prepared and appear to be as the deer in the headlights?

Peace, Blessings, & Joy... that real PB&J
