The Mirror Shows the Fair One
IllustrationAnalogy★★★★WHEN you stand before the Bible, you are to stand before it as
a mirror. This mirror will not reflect you. The wicked witch
stood before the mirror and looked for the mirror to compliment
her. “Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?”
She was in for a shock! A picture of Snow White appeared in
the mirror. The wicked witch looked in the mirror but she saw
somebody else. The purpose of the Scripture is to show you
the Fair One. It is to give you a picture of Jesus Christ.
The point
Scripture is a mirror not for admiring ourselves but for seeing Christ; the goal is reflecting His image, not our own.
