Picture Perfect 1 John 3:1-3

Sinless, completely conformed, totally transformed, into the image of Christ! Can you picture this perfection? Maybe not know, maybe the thought of being like Christ is to lofty a thought or maybe even blasphemous to consider, but that is exactly what these verses say. Have you ever been to an art gallery and just stood with eyes gazed intently at the portrait in front of you and thought... wow, what a painting? Look at the detail, the steadiness of hand displayed, the shadowing, this is brilliant! As christians we have been given a hope that we will be as He is when we see Him! Let us have this hope fixed on Him (intent gazed eyes) and by this be purified. So picture perfection, for that is what we are running towards!
