What can one window do? Picture this. If you had only one window out of a room then that window is the world to you. You see everything through the perspective of that single view. That one solitary space is your view and shapes the way you think and what you see about the world.
Think about this for a moment. Today many of us try to live our lives and experience as many different or new things as possible in the interest of broadening our outlook on life. We want to know what others feel like when they do a particular thing or live a particular way. We visit other nations and try to immerse ourselves in the culture to get a feeling for what it is really like. Those experiences change who we are and shape how we see the rest of the world, or how we interact with those we come into contact with.
In all of this we fail to realize we are still only seeing everything through a single window that is our own. We cannot change this. No matter how much we learn or how hard we try to seek new experience it is all seen through our individual window that no one else can see through. Only I can see the world as I do. Only you can see things shaped by what you have been through.
Now consider for a moment that there is one person that can see through your window. What would you share with that person? The essence of who you are and your very soul would be exposed to that one person like it or not. That person would know all your deepest thoughts. Even the things you never share with anyone. That person would have insight into who you are and why you do things the way you do.
Take that even further. What if that one person could see beyond your limited view, and see everything in the world that you couldn’t? In addition this person knows your view. That person would become your trusted advisor and confidant because they could see as you do, but also see well beyond what you can.
That one person can see past, present, and future. That person knows the intimate nature of who you are, but also knows everything else. That person can see the individual windows of everyone and see life from each of our individual points of view, experience what we have experienced, and still see everything else. What a concept right? This is the person of Jesus Christ! This is who God is. It’s time for each of use to start trusting the only one who can see through our window, and see beyond at the same time.
