Colossians 2:17 says: "shadow of the things that were to come" when referring to things here on earth. What is that about? We live in the shadows. We only see a reflection of who Christ is and what God is all about. We see it in the beauty of nature, the faces of others, and we feel it as we experience His love. Our lives are mere reflections of His glory.
Many times I gaze upon the beauty of nature and imagine the greater glory and awesome demonstration of God. If we only see a shadow, think of what the actual object it. As I was walking today noticing the shadows, it made me wonder what the actual object was that it was reflecting.
The point of the verse that I shared is that we often get caught up in things that are only temporary and miss out on the reality of Jesus Christ. Let's make a point to notice the reality and not just the shadows.
