[:en]Thoughts from “Our Daily Bread” (9/20/18)[:]

[:en]In 1880’s French artist Georges Seurat introduced an art form known as pointillism.  He used small dots of color, rather than brush strokes of blended pigments to create an artistic image.  At closer look, his works looks like groupings of individual dots.  But as the observer steps back, the human eye blends the dots into brightly colored portraits or landscapes. (Mart Dehaan)

This is also similar with the Bible.  Up close, its complexity leaves us with the impression of dots on a canvas.  We cannot envision His suffering, death and second coming.   But as we try to connect the dots of Scripture, we see a God who loves us, and who is willing to lay down His life to save us and bring us to eternity.[:]
