In the city that was once Constantinople, a visitor to the Mosque of Saint Sophia stands quietly for a time marveling at the breathtaking architecture. The mosque was once a Christian Church, but long since it had been converted into a Mohammedan place of worship. All of the Christian symbols had been wiped out, or covered over with Arabic lettering. As the visitor stands there, he looks up at the dome, and his heart almost stands still. He grabs a fellow-traveler by the arm and says excitedly, “Look! Look! He’s coming back! Jesus is coming back!” He could see that the cover-up paint that had been added over the centuries was wearing off — and the figure of Christ was beginning to show through again.1
Of course He’s coming back! Of course He’s showing through! You can’t wipe Him out. You can’t cover Him up. You can’t make Him disappear. You can’t erase Him form our midst. He is Risen!
