…to show us the glory of God.
Once again, it’s my day to post at Out of the Ordinary. This week I wrote about Christ as the radiance of the glory of God. Here’s a snippet:
The Son is eternally the radiance of the glory of God. Even in the incarnation, he continued to shine with God’s glory. It’s true that while he walked the earth, Christ’s glory was veiled, with the veil pulled back just once for a brief glimpse at his transfiguration, when, writes Peter, “we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.” However, in a counterintuitive twist—unexpected, but so right when you think on it—it is in the veiling of God’s glory in the incarnate Christ that we, as sinful beings, can actually look on the glory of God.
