On the way home from the park, a pigeon didn't see me crossing the street and came flying right overhead. For a while, we were staring at each other, so I asked if I could take its picture and pulled out my compact camera. It just stared at me, then after I got in my click flew away.
I was thinking about what it must've been like for John the Baptist to see, not a pigeon used to human beings, but a wild dove coming, not just overhead, but landing right on Jesus, then not just perching there for a momentary photo shoot but "remaining on him"!!!
"And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God." (John 1:33)
Oh--I happened to be doing some memory work there.
