Day 18 - The Beckoning Stage

There is such a longing, when we discover some of the mysteries of the kingdom of God, to press ourselves, or to be pressed, onto the platform of the world's (or even just the church's) stage. The thought of being looked up to is quite tempting. Here, we persuade ourselves, we children may be able to reveal to the wise and learned those things which Christ has hidden from them.

However, stages are places to be approached with caution. Once there, we are likely to lose all sense of direction; we may lose all sight of the road marked out for us on our life's map by the revealer himself.
