It Becomes New
IllustrationAnalogy★★When I was in Baltimore last, my window looked out on an Episcopal Church. The stained glass windows were dull and uninviting by day; but when the lights shone through at night, how beautiful they were! So when the Holy Spirit touches the eyes of your understanding, and you see Christ shining through the pages of the Bible, it becomes a new book to you.

Just as stained glass looks dull by day but glows when lit within, Scripture becomes radiant once the Holy Spirit reveals Christ in it.
