When Howard Carter and his associates found the tomb of King Tutankhamen, they opened up his casket and found another within it. They opened up the second, which was covered with gold leaf, and found a third. Inside the third casket was a fourth made of pure gold. The pharaoh's body was in the fourth, wrapped in gold cloth with a gold facemask. But when the body was unwrapped, it was leathery and shriveled.
There is nothing wrong with a person presenting himself or herself as the very best possible, but in many cases, who you see would almost be unrecognizable without all the many enhancements. The old phrase, "beauty is only skin deep" is really true. Real beauty must come from within.
Image is important, but it is never more important than when it pertains to the inner man. It is the inner man that Christ changes when one becomes one of his disciples. You can try to cover over a dead, spiritual life or anything else with glitter and glamour so as to impress other people, but the beauty of the exterior dose not change the lack of life within you.
There is an image that has been given to us by God. It is the image of Christ Himself. Let us so live so as to let that image shine.
Romans 8:29 (HCSB)
29 For those He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers. 09-22-09
