Listen from:
“When He shall come to be glorified in His saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day” (2 Thess. 1:1010When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. (2 Thessalonians 1:10)).
This refers to the time when the Lord Jesus will appear with His saints to establish His rule over this poor world. He shall be glorified in you and me—and we will be manifested in glory with Him.
That you and I will be there is to the Lord’s glory. He is the One who saved us, carried us and then called us out of the world to be with Him. No matter what our failures may have been, our appearing with Him will be to His glory. Our presence there will glorify Him, for it is only so because of Him—His love, His work, His patience, His grace and His power. What beautiful glories shine in Him!
It says also He will be admired in all them that believe. As the world looks on His saints, they will see each one as the reflection of Himself and this will be to His glory. We will be perfectly like Him in that day. And He is the one who will be admired through you and me appearing with Him.
These thoughts have encouraged me to daily seek to glorify the Lord Jesus. How good to reflect His glorious Person more each day as we wait for Him and that coming, perfect manifestation of all that we are in Him.
