learning to see and savor the glory of Christ.

I just wanted to link to this encouraging article by MacArthur, “Super-Sized Saints?” on how God uses the humble lowly and meek. Here’s brief excerpt:

If you’ve ever visited the great cathedrals in Europe, you’d think the apostles were larger-than-life stained-glass saints with shining halos who represented an exalted degree of spirituality. But actually, they were very, very common men.

It’s a shame they have so often been put on pedestals as magnificent marble figures, or portrayed in paintings like some kind of Roman gods. That dehumanizes them. They were just twelve completely ordinary men—human in every way—and we shouldn’t lose touch with who they really were.
