Glory
For God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined
in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the
face of Jesus Christ. (II. Corinthians 4;6).
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, ” I am the light of the world. Whoever
follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.”
(John 8;12).
Just as physical light is essential to life, spiritual Light in the Person
of Jesus is vital for Life. This is why Jesus says, when we follow Him
we will never walk in darkness, but have the light of Life. Because He
is the Light of Life. And God Who has said,’Let there be light!’ in the
beginning, has shone in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge
of the glory of God in the Face (Person) of Jesus.
This Light of the knowledge of the Glory of God in the Face of Jesus is
better understood in contrast. As light is best appreciated when contrasted
to darkness.In the same way the contrasts of righteousness to sin, life to
death, health to sickness allow the appreciation of each gift. This is what
St. Paul does when he says:’ And even if our gospel ( Best News Ever)
is hid, it is hid to them that are lost. In whom the god of this world has
blinded the minds of those who believe not, lest the light of the glorious
gospel (Best News Ever) of Christ, Who is the image of God (Imago Dei),
should shine unto them.
For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves
your servants for Jesus’ sake.
For God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined
in our hearts, to give the Light of the Knowledge of the Glory of God in the
Face (Person) of Jesus Christ.
Without Jesus there is only spiritual darkness and shadows. Jesus is the
Light of Life.
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
