Shrink Wrap according to wikipedia - is a product made of a polymer plastic film that has many uses in industry. The most common form of shrink wrap that most of us would encounter is that used in the food industry - to protect and preserve food items. It is flexible and durable and conforms to almost any shape you desire. Depending on the thickness - it can be easily pierced or pierced only by sharp instruments. One of its best characteristics - is that it is transparent which makes it desirable for the food industry. Numerous food items are safely displayed - and on open display for all to see and touch.
Not everything in life is transparent or easy to see through. People are not transparent - many hide their real selves behind masks or identities that defy detection. Many prowl about among the population looking for easy "marks" - those gullible enough to fall for scams and schemes that quickly separate them from their money and valuables. Luckily for us - most people are honest - and transparent - in who they are - what they do. Jesus was that way - what He said -He meant - what He did - was real - what He proposed - was life. There was no masking Him or His intentions. He was open and honest - completely transparent - in all His actions. He said that He came that we might have life - He meant it. He said He forgave sinners - He did. He promised to be with us always - He is. Jesus is not shrink wrapped - He is approachable and touchable - He waits for you - for your touch - your embrace - to experience for yourself - His divine presence.
