\u201cWho is He, this King of glory? The Lord Almighty \u2013 He is the King of glory.\u201d (Psalm 24:10)<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.\u201d (John 1:14)<\/p>\n
We trust the ancient voices who predicted His coming and who witnessed Him on earth\u2026 and we know what Jesus has done in our own lives. \u201cHe is the King of glory.\u201d<\/p>\n
We can speak with confidence regarding the One born of a virgin in Bethlehem. He lived thirty something years in the land of Israel, teaching about the kingdom of God and doing mighty works. He died a criminal\u2019s death outside Jerusalem and was buried in a borrowed tomb. But God raised His Son up on the third day \u2013 \u201cthe King of glory.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Good News for the world is that Jesus lives today and longs for all to know Him as Savior and Lord. When we turn to Him in faith, the Holy Spirit frees us to see the glory of God. Grace and truth bless us. As we contemplate His glory – His mercy, kindness, power, and love – God transforms us into the likeness of His Son.<\/p>\n
When a proud man becomes humble or an angry man becomes peaceful or a hateful man becomes kind, people take note. The Christ of Christmas changes us. The One who loved us enough to die that we might be saved teaches us to love like He does.<\/p>\n
The children of God, along with the angels on high, want God to receive all glory. We know what He has done, what He is doing, and what He promises to do. May He be glorified in our lives.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord\u2019s glory, are being transformed into His image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.\u201d II Corinthians 3:16-18<\/p>\n
\u201cSuddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, \u2018Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom His favor rests.\u2019\u201d Luke 2:13-14<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll not write for a couple of weeks as we break for the holidays.
