\u201cNow we see things imperfectly as in a poor mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God knows me now\u201d (1 Corinthians 13:12) NLT.<\/em><\/p>\n

Do I see the power of the resurrection as clearly as it is? Do I view the cross, the sacrifice, the death of a spotless Lamb with 20\/20 vision? Or is my gaze alltered by the world\u2014a Fun House of Mirrors through which Satan would prefer I view?<\/p>\n

Will it be in Heaven that I see my name written in Jesus\u2019 blood? To finally understand that without the cross it would not have been there at all?<\/p>\n

Will it be my eternal delight to view the Father looking at the Son in love, and then, only then, realize the immensity of the sacrifice made?<\/p>\n

Will it be as He leads me from mansion to mansion and I feel the nail prints in his hand? Will it be then that I become fully aware of the pain He endured, the pain I caused?<\/p>\n

Will it be the whiteness of His presence, the glory of His presence, the brilliance of His presence that brings me to understand the blackness of my sins?<\/p>\n

Will I grasp the extent of His love for me when I hear the words, “Enter in,”\u2026knowing I have no right, am not worthy, could not possibly have done enough\/said enough\/been enough?<\/p>\n

I do not believe I see things clearly now. I cannot fathom, cannot grasp, cannot understand completely the overwhelming nature of the cross.<\/p>\n

But one day I will. One day He will reveal it all to me, and I will stand amazed once again that it was for me He died.<\/p>\n
