glory revealed

And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed,

and all flesh shall see it together,

for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

Isaiah 40:5

A day was prophesied that the glory of the LORD would be revealed to all the world. And in Jesus this has happened! The glory of God came to dwell among us in human skin. God was enfleshed. The Lord of heaven incarnate to make God’s glory known,  lived with us, walked among us, talked to us, loved and laughed and cried and sang alongside us, all to bring us to a new relationship with the Father Who sent His Son so we could be made new again by His Holy Spirit.

The glory of the Lord HAS been revealed. And I see Him at work shining in me and all His people even now. The gospel story shines in glory in the church as Christians seek to live like Jesus and proclaim His saving gospel into a dark world. The message of salvation in Jesus is the glory of the Lord revealed. The church is where that glory shines. God’s people are called to reveal His glory in a world that is blind to God’s greatness and holiness.

“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” 

John 1:14

Jesus,

You are the glory of the Lord now revealed! You are grace and truth. We see Your glory. We know it. And may we worship and proclaim You with every day that we have to do so!

Amen
