Paint Mines, Calhan, Colorado
Whether you're making a photograph or painting a picture, leading lines help the viewer see what's the focus of that picture. In this photograph, taken at the Paint Mines, the focus ought to be on the white sandstone figure two-thirds of the way up. Notice how the dark shadows to left lead the eye to headless, humpless camel (at least that's what I see).
Our lives are leading lines to our Savior, Jesus Christ.
"I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Galatians 2:20 English Standard Version
Paul reminds us that our lives point to the one who loved us and gave his life for us.
Too often we're tempted to point out to others the things that relate to our "greatness." We point out our new car, clean house or generous nature, as if these things will make us a "somebody" in the eyes of others.
What others think about us needs to take a back seat to what others think about Jesus. We are the leading lines to Jesus. Who he is and what he has done for us is what matters most in life.
