The metallic front of your shield is decorated with a marvelous engraving. It is a picture of your own image—wait!—it is a picture of Jesus the Christ. Stunningly, somehow the front of the shield is liquid metal, a moving picture—a picture of your own image in the process of being transformed into the superimposed image of Jesus the resurrected king. It a picture of your own current life story in process. You, through embodied fidelity to Jesus, are increasingly taking on his character qualities and participating in his proper stewardship over creation. You are becoming conformed to his image.
