It’s a violent world we live in. People are filled with hatred and malice towards each other. But even in the midst of all the wickedness there are windows… windows that open to a world of love and truth.
We see an example of this in the end of John 7. The leaders of the people, along with some of the crowds, they had a burning hatred towards Jesus. And we know that Jesus did not deserve it. None the less, they wanted to kill Him.
But not all of the people in the crowd were filled with sin. Many put their trust in Him. The temple guards refused to arrest Jesus. Even one of the leaders, Nicodemus, stood against the evil.
And Jesus Himself was a window to a better world. He brought love to His enemies, and we still receive that love. It’s a love that conquers. It’s a love that truly gives life.
There are people out there that love the Lord. If you are a Christian who feels alone in the world, look for the windows. Look for the view into a better world. You’ll come to find that they are all around us.
I like the song by Andrew Peterson, “Windows in the World.” Give the song a listen, and you may find it a little easier to see the other side.
Writing for Christ!
