It's as Obvious as Can Be
During the winter months, you can see this scene out our kitchen window. It's only visible from the perspective of that window, and only during the winter. Judy claims there is an outline of a face there, and she begins to point out the features. It's an iconic representation of the Christ, she says. Really, I say, I'm not so sure. Well, just look. He's right there. Can't you see him? Now it's not quite in the genre of a weeping Madonna on a brick wall, or the crucifix in a potato chip. Don't make fun. For her, it's even a meditative sight. It's there if you look. Stand back, and squint. What do you see?
I sort of see a face. But it could be anybody. It could be Christ. It could be anybody.
Yes, isn't that the point?

Yes! I can see a face also. It looks all knowing with rather sad eyes.

I don't even have to squint to see Christ in the tree.

If I squint, I see it! I agree with Judy.

How comforting to find Christ right outside your window in the bleak of winter and the arrival of spring. It makes me remember another neighbor who could spot Christ's image in the bark of her tree. I also am thinking of where I see Christ daily, and am I serving others in the way Christ served his disciples and the people He encountered. Pastor John Mars, Meridian United Methodist Church, ID, spoke of this Sunday. Do we get it? Do we understand that serving others so they can see Christ is what we are called to do?
May God give us the opportunities and the help we need to be servants in His name.
