    Reading Light, Leading Light Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 1,125 views

    People see the world from different angles. I’d like to suggest that the Holy Spirit gives us Christ’s perspective. We need to start seeing the world through Christ-colored glasses, which is not the same as rose-colored glasses. Jesus saw compassionately, but he also saw clearly and realistically.
