Emphasis Preaching Journal

A cathedral in Scandinavia has on its vaulted ceiling a breathtaking scene of Christ reigning in the heavens. When this magnificent work of art needed restoration, scaffolding was set up and a temporary ceiling was made so artisans might have access to the scene. The preacher, one day, pointed out that above them was a scene of the Risen and Reigning Christ now hidden by the temporary ceiling. He pointed out, when the temporary ceiling was withdrawn upon completion of the work, a staggering sight would be visible to all.
