20/20

Maybe I thought of this because I work in the ophthalmology field. Who knows why my mind thinks of stuff like this? But I was thinking the other day that with perfect 20/20 vision and nothing hindering our sight, our visual perception of things can only be as good as the light source allows. Darkness, clouds, sun or the best GE light bulb all determine how well we are able to see. I think of how I love looking out a freshly cleaned window on a beautifully sunny day - everything looks so sharp and clear. And then I remembered Revelation 22:5, which talks about how there will be no need for lamps or the sun in Heaven, because God will be the light. Imagine what our vision will be like when we see everything illuminated by the glory of the light of Christ! This must be part of the reason that we will have perfected bodies. Moses, in his sinful flesh, had to be hidden in a rock just to catch a glimpse of the back side of God's glory passing him by. It's too much for our sinful eyes to behold. But with our heavenly bodies we will live througout eternity in the constant glow of the glory of the Light of the World! Amen. Come Lord Jesus!
