Facing the Reflection That Isn’t Supposed to Be There
What do you see when you look in the mirror and the reflection staring back doesn’t feel like you? In this Commentary, Gary Michael Voris explores the “untidy” reality of resurrection – not the instant perfection we imagine, but the long, messy process of aligning our broken selves with the God who created us.
Drawing from Scripture, neuroscience and lived experience, Voris reflects on how trauma, sin and the absence of love distort our sense of identity, leaving us as “living corpses” in need of resurrection. But the corpse in the mirror is not real – it has no life of its own. Resurrection means transforming that reflection into truth: the truth that we are loved, that we matter, and that Christ alone can restore us to who we were created to be.
“Without love, a man is a living corpse. With Christ, he has a future.”
