As Dave and I drove to work this morning I read a sign posted in front of a local church that read "come let us adore him - Friday Dec 24th 7pm." The skeptic within me wanted to ask that congregation "what does it mean to adore Jesus?" That probably stems from the fact that I can't really recall ever ADORING Jesus.(but of course I have sang that ever popular X-mas song "Oh come let US adore him") I have learned a little bit about adoration recently from Nash. He has a thing for his mother. Somehow no matter who else is around or what is going on, his eyes always seem to gravitate towards his mother. He gets a deep, loving look in his eyes and when she looks back at him he smiles. It's beautiful.
I have a thing for metaphors when it comes to situations like this. Situations where Love and Beauty and Relationships are main characters. So in thinking about Nash adoring his mother. I wanted to say that I wish I adored Jesus like that, that despite all the christmas parties and commercialism and gifts, my eyes would gravitate towards Jesus. Then I thought of it the other way, what if Jesus is adoring us. What if he is just staring at us with adoration and love in his eyes..... waiting.....waiting for our eyes to meet his.
Maybe there is a metaphor,maybe there isn't.
Either way I'm sure its way beyond my comprehension.
