“But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” (2 Cor. 3:18)
In this chapter, Paul reminds us that unbelievers have a “veil” upon their heart. Until they are saved, they cannot truly “behold…the glory of the Lord.” “BUT,” Paul says, “we all” (those of us who have been saved and have had the veil removed) CAN behold “the glory of the Lord.”
Praise God, we can get a glimpse of His glory! How? By looking into the mirror of God’s Word! Friend, if you are not in His Word, you will not behold His glory. And the purpose of “beholding…the glory of the Lord” is so that we might be “changed into the same image.”
Every day, we are to be in the Word of God, beholding God’s glory so that later the world might get a glimpse of God’s glory IN US! Are you being changed into the image of Christ? You may be the only image of Christ your co-workers, or friends see. Let them see something real!
