"Like a bad back that needs to return repeatedly to the chiropractor for straightening out, our understanding of Jesus needs to be straightened out over and over again as our poor spiritual posture throws our perception of him out of line--domesticating him and conforming him to our image, rather than transforming us into his."
-Dane Ortlund, Defiant Grace
Praise God for His Word with its inerrant truth that points out where we have wandered off from knowing Him and guides us back to a closer glimpse of His glory. In this life, though, we're still looking "through a glass darkly", and we won't know Him fully until we see Him face to face.
