“God has glory in what He hides; kings have glory in what they fathom”…OT.
Actually it could have been God giving a large theatrical yet reminder-type wisdom lesson to all who learned of this event. The statue (like Christ on the cross on Good Friday in a sense) absorbed a lightning bolt that would have struck something else or perhaps someone else in a building that also was somewhat high somewhere in that area and within range of the bolt. Thus the statue was like the real Christ in that Christ absorbed the wrath on the cross that elsewise would have struck us: Augustine says (De Trin. iv): “The one death of our Saviour,” namely, that of the body, ‘saved us from our two deaths,’ that is, of the soul and the body.”
Thank goodness.
I don’t know if it is my computer, but the picture is not coming up on this page…If you meant to post a picture? God bless you for all you do Amy.
