This picture makes me think of the day Jesus was crucified. The sky seems so angry, full of a holy hatred of sin. It seems to magnify the fear of the Lord.The depth of His holiness, and wrath is portrayed in everyday nature, we simply don't wake up early enough to see it.
The sky that day must have been particularly grim. The people traveling the roads as usual, with no knowledge of the travesty about to take place. Pilot knew, as did Judas. The air had to be thicker, as though the people had to cut through it as they similarly cut Jesus' heart with their sin. And still people have no knowledge of what God really did for them, and if they do then they simply don't care. They sit in their pews and stab him as they take "the body of christ." They serve the Americian Jesus. A god who has no limits, you can pray to him and he will fulfill your every whim. When will America wake up. God IS HOLY, He hates sin, and cannot stand to be in its presance. Leonard Ravenhill says "the world thinks that God loves them but hates their sin, NO, He hates you for commiting it as well." We don't want to hear this, because then we might actually have to hate sin ourself, and that would mean we must be poor in spirit, realizing our abhorant sin, and repenting from it. If only America would see the truth of the cross, and all that happened those 3 days.
"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." john 15:4-5
