Reflect Christ

Not that I’m much of a decorator, but decorating with mirrors never crossed my mind.  Apparently, mirrors double effects and create illusions of depth in a room or a hallway.  I once watched a show that featured a breakfast room window with a blah-blah view, however, the strategic placement mirror panels on one wall reflected a nearby flower garden, which became the focal point of the room. Wow!  Nothing quite like “mirror magic” to sweeten your dining experience!

What about the reflection of God in the Believer’s life? Blah-blah SHOULD NOT come to mind!  Truth is, however, we’re not good “reflectors” sometimes. Leviticus 11:44 says, “I am the LORD your God; consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy.”  Our sinful nature simply doesn’t promote holiness; on the contrary, God’s image-in-us is often distorted and fuzzy at best. Well, it doesn’t have to be so.  When unhindered by sinfulness, the Holy Spirit, living within every Believer, can reflect The King of glory in our lives.  It’s His Spirit that overcomes a blah-blah reflection, making the reflection holy-holy!  I don’t know about the cost of mirrors but I know what it cost God to make His Image alive and real in us: the cost was His only Son, Jesus Christ.  Just as mirrors can decorate a room, a life mirroring Jesus Christ is effectively decorated – reflect Christ!
