Revelation 21:11
IT SHONE WITH THE GLORY OF GOD
Ever felt totally inadequate? What about now?
I do. How can anyone even begin to touch the edge of the surface of such a subject? It shone with Sh'khinah! God's glory. That "glory" that came down as a pillar of cloud by day and fire at night. That "glory" that filled the tabernacle. That "glory" that filled the temple so that the priests could not perform their service. That "glory" which was the very God of Israel. Not a man, not a god but the only TRUE GOD.
He is unique, separate, Holy, Holy, Holy. His glory shines in the new Jerusalem - the Bride of Christ. It's hard enough to "understand" God, the God of the Universe, the King of Heaven. We try hard to come to grips with God as seen in the face of Jesus Christ - the Word made flesh.
This is in some ways even harder for us to grasp. This is His Church! Israel with the Gentiles grafted in -ALL Abraham's children - together shining with the Sh'khinah itself!
We have enough trouble getting Churches of different denominations together in one city - let alone the whole Christian world - then add to that the Jews! Together, the redeemed Church - what a truly awesome prospect! It must be God!
And maybe that's it! It would have to be God to do it - so it would shine with His architecture, His handiwork, His Master's touch, and His glory. It shines like a "tiara". The brilliance and the kaleidoscope of colour, which reflects the glory of God on every different facet of the jewels. Yes, we are His jewels, and each one of us reflects a different facet of His glory. That is why He desires and designed so many of us. Together we shine with His glory for all to see!
Notice, it isn't our glory - it is the Sh'khinah glory of God Himself! We reflect Him.
Can you handle that brilliance?
