I was sitting at Mass this morning and Father was talking about Jesus and the woman at the well.
And he talked about how Christ was the one who had come to change the world, and the way everyone was looking for the Messiah. That He is for everyone, and that when He came it was for all people.
As Mass went on, I was praying before Communion, and the image of "Christ in Majesty" came into my mind. I'm not sure why I thought of it, but I just love this image of Christ. He is there, in all his power. He still bears the wounds, showing His love for us, but His face is so glorious. There is so much of the King of the Universe. How this King can be so awesome and mighty, and yet have allowed Himself to be tortured and killed as the Lamb of God... The paradox brings me to tears.
That Christ is for all time and all of us. That His power and glory rule the Cosmos yet his gentle voice speaks to my heart in whispers.
A sign of Contradiction.
It just fills me up with this amazing joy.
A King and a Savior...
