Being able to see words as pictures changes the words from one dimensional to multidimensional. It is like a veil is lifted and words go from black on white, to images of the likes that cannot be seen without the Spirit of God revealing them to us.

Hebrews 4:12 says, the word of God is living and active; and when this truth becomes a reality in picture form in our spirits, it adds a dimension of reality that seers our hearts with truth that will never be forgotten.

Matthew 27:27-30 describes a scene that I saw in picture form for the first time and I will never unsee it now that I have seen it. Here is how Matthew speaks it, “Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole garrison around Him. And they stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him. When they had twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And they bowed the knee before Him and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” Then they spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him on the head. And when they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him away to be crucified.”

When these words become a picture, it changes the dynamics of the words. A garrison of soldiers is 600 men in a circle, all looking at Jesus as some of them undress and then dress Jesus. They dress Him according to the charges levied against Him, that He is claiming to be the king of the Jews.

Jesus stands there, no retaliation, no response, just lets the ones He created in their mothers womb, He lets them dress Him up. But not only that, they use the very breath in their lungs to mock Him and He says nothing. Then they undress Him again and dress Him to go be crucified.

People feel so powerful when they are mocking, because they believe their own narrative or the narrative they were told. But the Truth was standing right in front of them and they could not see it. The truth was they were the ones who needed Jesus, the very One they were mocking.

Friends, we can feel so justified when we are angry, hurt, offended, but the truth is standing right in front of us, and we miss it. Take notice of the circle you are in, Jesus stood alone, for truth needs no defense, and He said, Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. Can you see it? Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org
