November Topic: EMMANUEL - GOD WITH US |
WE HAVE SEEN HIS GLORY! Let's spend November together looking at the fact that God longs to be with us and for us to spend time with Him. |
John 1:14
WE HAVE SEEN HIS GLORY...
What an incredible statement to make!
"We have seen His Glory. The Glory of the One and Only Son of God who came from the Father, full of grace and truth." We have seen His Glory! The Jews 'knew' you could never see God and live. God was altogether too powerful, too brilliant in light, too pure, and too holy for man to ever look at Him and live. Yet John, who is still alive, acknowledges "we have seen His Glory."
Was he right? Or was he just fanaticising or wishful? No, I believe he did get a glimpse of His Glory. There can surely be no doubt about that. The life of Jesus was, from our human perspective, phenomenal. Yes, it was unique but it was more than unique. Each one of us is unique - we've been created image-bearers of God and we all know that no two of us are the same.
But Jesus was both unique and phenomenal. He revealed His glory in a 'way' we did not expect. His Glory was firstly God Incarnate! His Glory was in His incomprehensible humility. His Glory was seen in His moving in the supernatural naturally. His Glory was seen in His meekness - His Ultimate Power under Ultimate Control. His Glory was seen in His indescribable love and grace.
He gave hope in the place of despair; love in the place of indifference; acceptance in the place of hatred; forgiveness and mercy in the place of revenge, vengeance and justice; righteousness in the place of corruption; commitment in the place of selfishness; and faithfulness in the place of volatile discipleship - faithfulness.
Yes, John recognised Glory when he saw it. Do you? Have you seen His Glory? Because until you do, Jesus will remain just a man and a prophet; Christianity just another religion; faith just a 'take it or leave it' crutch for me in times of despair and my belief, just an assurance policy for the future.
See His Glory and your whole life and being will be lit up! You will never be the same again - you will never be able to compromise again and you will become totally 'sold out' to Jesus Christ.
If you haven't experienced it yet, STOP.
Pray right now - "Lord Jesus, please show me a glimpse of Your Glory."
Fasten your seat belt and Watch Out!
