The day I first truly saw Jesus is burned into my memory for the rest of my life. The simultaneous death and resurrection I experienced in that moment was wonderful and overwhelming. I am still discovering the implications of it all. If you have not seen Jesus yet, I hope you will draw near to him and that he will draw near to you. If you have seen Jesus, I hope that you will, along with me and the great cloud of witnesses with us, "lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God" (Hebrews 12:1b-2).
