Illuminated Scripture
Looking Through the Door
Illuminated Scriptures the last few weeks have been pen and ink sketches. And those are really fun for me and I have enjoyed drawing them. I had no intention of interrupting that series, but this last weekend John and I made a trip to Indianapolis to begin packing up his parents’ home. Those of you that check in now and then here at Blogotional know that John’s dad passed away suddenly in June as a result of injuries suffered in a car accident. During the months that have followed I have contributed some bits about John’s dad. Now I feel compelled to share this Illuminated Scripture inspired by several things from Indianapolis including John’s dad.
John’s dad before he died had picked out new front doors for the house. He never lived to see those doors installed. John has since had the job done. As we were packing I stood in front of those doors and was admiring the glass, and realized really how beautiful they were with the light shining through. I took a picture. Then Sunday we attended his parents’ church accompanied by John’s mom who has almost recovered from the accident and was very happy to be there. The sermon was from Romans and the main verse was the one you see in this Illuminated Scripture. The picture through the glass of the door came to my mind and it somehow seemed to fit with this scripture—“glory that will be revealed”—looking through the door. So now once again in memory of John’s dad Harry Schroeder here is today’s Illuminated Scripture.
