DAY 314
Now We See in a Mirror, Dimly
기원후 1세기
ORIGINAL
βλέπομεν γὰρ ἄρτι δι' ἐσόπτρου ἐν αἰνίγματι, τότε δὲ πρόσωπον πρὸς πρόσωπον.
📜 THE VERSE
For now we see in a mirror, dimly; but then we shall see face to face.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
Can I live at peace with what I still cannot fully understand?
📝Reflection
Ancient mirrors were polished bronze, so the image came back dim and blurred. Paul likens that clouded mirror to how we now see the world. We live without knowing everything clearly. Why that thing happened, what that person truly meant—we cannot fully know now. This verse comforts because it tells us the present dimness is not a failing but the human condition. To be able to love without fully knowing—that is the wisdom of a grown person.
