In a Mirror Dimly

It's not easy to see things as they truly are. The Apostle Paul says that there is a day coming when we'll see Jesus face to face and will "know fully" even as we are "fully known."
In the meantime, Paul says we "see in a mirror dimly." I wonder... if we did see things as they truly are, we might find it a bit unsettling! It sure was for the cast of characters in this week's lectionary readings...Job, the Corinthians, the disciples. Maybe knowing and being known is a bit more complicated than we think.
Thankfully, we're not left alone. Not by a longshot.
Which is why I'll be glad we're together this Sunday.
Sharing a Meal
We’ll be sharing a picnic meal after worship Sunday, June 27 in part to say “farewell” as Steve and Lauren leave for the months of July and August for Steve’s sabbatical. More details to follow.
