More powerful than a speeding locomotive....Remember Superman back in the 1950's and 1960's during the black and white days of TV? Superman was faster than a speeding bullet and able to leap tall buildings in a single bounce. What I enjoyed most about watching Superman, realizing my own lack of power, speed, and bounce, was TV allowed me to see what Superman saw. Using the video technology of the day, Superman could approach a bank vault or a closed boxcar of a train and the TV viewer could 'see' inside what Superman saw as he focused his eyes toward the object. For a moment I could see what Superman saw by using his eyes. This brings me to the passage of scripture in Matthew 9: 36 when Jesus saw the multitudes, and just like the days of Superman on TV, for a moment the inspired scripture allows the reader to see what Jesus saw; "scattered abroad as sheep having no shepherd". Reading the Bible can improve our vision by allowing us to use the eyes of Jesus to see what He saw. In Matthew 9: 36, can you see His compassion? When you read the Bible, allow the Holy Spirit to improve your vision. This is more powerful than a speeding locomotive.
