 | Face to Face
Men inspired by the Bible have called death by many names -- the
destroyer, the last enemy, the angel who summons our souls, a deep dark
river. But here is Paul's picture of death from the believer's
perspective -- a man gazing at first into a metal mirror, seeing only
baffling reflections and the fantastic shapes of half-facts, who
suddenly wheels around and then sees things as they really are. He sees
his fellows as they are; he sees the Savior as He is, in all His beauty
-- that is death for the Christian. No more peering through the mists
of human ignorance to try to discern the face of the Savior; but clear,
immediate, direct vision -- face to face. We shall see Him as He is,
and be forever like Him.
