One of my favorite paintings is a self-portrait by the surrealist artist, Rene Magritte. It’s called “La Clairvoyance.” It's a painting of a painter looking at his subject, an egg, and on his canvas he is painting a picture of a bird in flight. I believe that's the way the painter understood his craft. It's the we saw himself as an artist. I believe this is how Jesus saw people. He didn’t see them in the egg surrounded by the sin of their decisions. He saw them as birds, free and in flight, in the love of His Father!
But He didn’t necessarily have to look at people’s future to see them differently. He could also look into their past.
