God's Glory Jan.9

God’s Glory

        We hear about God’s glory and pass over it as quickly as we read some scripture. Is it the flashing brilliant light that blasts out of the Ark of the Covenant? Is it the fire of the burning bush? Is it the glowing face of Stephen about to be stoned? I’m sure God’s glory can present itself wherever and whenever it chooses.

And yet, the Apostles Peter, Paul, and John indicated on many occasions, we are to somehow give glory to God. Does He need more? It remains an extended kind of glory we are to give and we should not pass over it or make it too confusing.

The Word became human and lived among us. We saw his glory. It was the glory that the Father shares with his only Son, a glory full of kindness and truth.” [John 1:14, GWT, God’s Word Translation, bold mine].

We are to distribute kindness.

We are to give away truth.
