The Invisible Son

'There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done'-

(The Police- Invisible Sun- 1981 'Ghost in the Machine')

   

     Today..

    My brother and I stood before a cross I made with my fingers,by scraping the frost that lie on the bed cover of his pick up....

                                and we prayed.

        by the heat of the day, that cross will disappear...

                                                                            become invisible..

                                                                                                        leaving only the memory that it ever happened...but..

       There has to be an invisible Son…

   

        ¹⁸I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. ¹⁹Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. ²⁰On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.

            The ‘impression’ that I made may re-appear with tomorrows frost on that bed cover..

          yet that... was just the work of my fingers.

                               The presence of the Holy Spirit in me..appears much like the Cross in the frost..

   

                                                                          ..when the heat of my day leaves me with only a memory of the time I spent with Him.

               

    The heat of the day...

        

 ¹⁵ When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. "Oh, my lord, what shall we do?" the servant asked.

 ¹⁶ "Don't be afraid," the prophet answered. "Those who are with us are more than those who are with them."

 ¹⁷ And Elisha prayed, "O LORD, open his eyes so he may see." Then the LORD opened the servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

  to know and believe...

                            There has to be an invisible Son...

                               

 ⁶"About noon as I came near Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me. ⁷I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, 'Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?'

 ⁸" 'Who are you, Lord?' I asked.

   " 'I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,' he replied. 

            The complications...circumstances...pain..even joy..we experience in this miraculous Spirit container..

                                                                                                                              this outward body .. will never..

                                                                                                                                                                        compromise the Truth..

        There has to be an invisble Son…   

                                                    ²⁷Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe."

                             

                                   In the cool of the morning..

                                                        before the heat of your day..

                           maybe reach out..and make a cross in the frost...and remember, follower of Jesus the Christ..

                                                                    There has to be an invisible Son...

                                                                                                                              and He has a claim on you.
