In the Cross Of Christ I Glory, Towering Over The Wrecks Of Time

"Towering Over The Wrecks Of Time" . Towering over even time itself! Love the reading today. Continually reminded that we move from a place of victory not towards a victory. It is finished. This weekend we sold the 2 sonshine houseboats....finally! They looked old, beat up, trashed, rusty, FOOLISH. Oh how foolish they LOOKED! One "Houseboat Expert" actually told Steve and I, "Good luck...you will be lucky if you can give those things away". They looked so foolish, however those 2 boats towered over the wrecks of the fleet for 30years! Every few years the marina would give us "new" boats in the fleet but the old Sonshine's would remain towering! Now, i know it is a loose comparision to the reading, but walking away from #9 on saturday and sitting on the levy watching the new owner take occupancy with the rain falling i was reminded of how many people came to a knowledge of God on those boats and how many left those boats walking from a victory rather than to one! Worthy is the LAMB!!!!! The Lamb!

    That's crazy about the Sonshine boats! What a blessing.

    And to think - 30 years of memories and amazing encounters with Jesus are on those boats. Incredible.

    I remember many worship night and encounters with Jesus on those boats myself. I wonder if that new owner will ever come to encounter the power of Jesus wrapped up in something most people would consider ordinary. How powerful.

    And yet, on The Flipside, I'm reminded that there is absolutely nothing special about those boats apart from the fact that they represent for us a time and a place where we removed ourselves from distraction and found ourselves overwhelmed with the person of Christ in living out self-giving sacrificial servant love.

    I echo Reid (and all of creation) in saying worthy is THE LAMB!

    Just heard "as low as you have stooped, he stooped lower." I like the contrast between towering and stooped.
