2 Timothy 1:9-10 (NIV)
This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
Appearing. In Greek, epiphaneia, An epiphany, a “conspicuous appearing.” Our God made visible.
Lord, give us eyes to see Your epiphany, Your conspicuous appearing.
To see with the inner eye
is to apprehend
the meaning of God.
Oops…I forgot the season reference a haiku needs! Thus, a correction,
To see with winter’s inner eye
is to apprehend
God’s grace of spring.
I like them both!
I’m so glad!
Haiku are really, really tough to write.
