Dear Young Christian:
Yesterday we noticed how the Lord Jesus completely and fully glorified God here on planet earth. Now the believer is left here to do the same thing. The Lord prayed, “And all Mine are Thine, and Thine are Mine; and I am glorified in them. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to Thee. Holy Father, keep through Thine own name those whom Thou hast given Me, that they may be one, as we are” (John 17:10-11).
Just as the Lord glorified God on the earth, so we are to reflect the glories of Christ from day to day. We can only do this as we are occupied with the Lord and His glories. That is simply what the Apostle Paul was saying when he wrote: “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Corinthians 3:18). How much will this be true of you this week? Will others see Christ reflected in your life?
Your Christian Friend,
