A Veiled InheritancePrint on Fujiflex silver halide photographic paper | 30” x 20”This photo was taken on the last night of a photography workshop in the fishing village of Hamnøy, on the Lofoten Islands, Norway. The scene spoke to me emotionally while my mind reflected on the truths studied in 1 Peter. The arctic chill was harsh; I was slipping on the icy ground, the water was choppy, and the storm clouds were blowing in. The cabins reminded me of the elite exiles, chosen by God and precious, who live sober minded, with joy in the glory of God. And while their land is dark and stormy, their minds are set on a future joy, they are blessed in Christ, with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. (Eph 1:3) The Aurora Borealis, Northern Lights, were not visible to my naked eye. It is the sensor of the camera that picks up the color in the darkness. The bright color of the aurora conveys our living hope, our eternal inheritance through Jesus that is being kept for us in heaven; imperishable, undefiled and unfading. The reflection in the water symbolizes that which we know now but our veiled eyes can’t fully see until the revelation of Jesus Christ.
