The Mirror, the Map, and the Man

The Bible gives us powerful object lessons to make the truth unforgettable. James describes God’s Word as a mirror—one that shows us not what we wish to see, but what is true: our sin and need of cleansing. Jesus spoke of a map with only two roads—one broad and leading to destruction, the other narrow and leading to life. And Pilate presented the greatest object lesson of all when he said, “Behold the man.”
That man was Jesus Christ, crowned with thorns, clothed in purple, and soon to be crucified. Yet He was more than a man—He was the Saviour, the sacrifice for sin, and the substitute who took our place.
“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” (James 1:22)
Look honestly in the mirror of God’s Word, find your place on the map of life, and then look to the Man who can save you.
