July 25, 2009, at 6:00pm was an excellent time to be at Gem Lake with a camera. The surface of the lake was glass-smooth and displayed Chair and Kaleetan Peaks in flawless reflection.
I view the reflections in this image as an allegory for the intercessory work of our High Priest. “And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works”
(Revelation 20:12 KJV).
Christ’s intercessory work is to infuse within us a reflection of Him, so that when He opens the books, Christ can say, “Father, here is another one that believes in me.” The Father will look and see His Son, a perfect reflection in every way.
“For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known” (1 Corinthians 13:12 KJV).
