WHAT IS A SAINT?

WHAT IS A SAINT?
A young boy about nine years old went with his parents to
Europe one summer. Part of their tour was visiting the great old
cathedrals of the past. As he would visit cathedral after
cathedral he saw the massive stained glass portraits of the
disciples and of other saints. He was so impressed as he stood
in these great empty halls looking through the beautiful stained
glass windows. Upon return, when asked by his Sunday School
teacher, what about the great churches of Europe did he like the
most, and what was his definition of a saint, he thought for a
moment and he said, "I loved the sense of awesomeness and the
hugeness of who God must be. And what is a saint?" And as his
mind went back to those massive beautiful stained glass windows,
he said, "A saint is a man the light shines through." Jesus
said, "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your
good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."
(Matt. 5:16)
