The stained-glass window—shattered by righteous judgment—lies in fragments. But the Master Artisan does not discard the shards. He kneels, gathers them, washes them, re-sets them in a new frame. What emerges is not the old design restored—it is something new and infinitely more glorious. Lamentations 4 shows the shattering. Hebrews shows the restoration. Repentance sees the shards Redemption gathers them. Christ shines through them bringing eternal beauty.
