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
It is good to know that the way we enter this
world does not have to be the way we exit… Understand today that there is a transformation that takes
place daily in the lives of Christians… Through the disobedience of Adam &
Eve we all enter this world as sinners, but through the grace and sacrifice of
Christ we don’t have to leave that way! Paul charges the church of Corinth to understand that they are being formed into
the image of God by His Spirit. There is a progressive work called sanctification that begins in the lives
of Christians when they accept Jesus as the personal Lord and Savior…The work
of redefining your life is a process that begins at acceptance and is continued
through the presences and aide of the Holy Spirit which will dwell inside you
and mold you into the disciple that Christ has called you to be… This verse
which we focus on today reminds me of the limitless love that God has for His
creation... God has looked beyond your
faults, established exactly what you needed and then carried out the measures
which had to be completed in order to bring you to that expected in… God’s
love for you was made known before you even knew the errors of your ways or the
depth of your sin… In Christ we get a glimpse of what we were designed to be
and the road which we must travel in order to achieve it… When Paul says that
we all with open face behold the glory of God in a glass; he is speaking to the
presences of God and how we can obtain Him! In the revelation that comes from this experience we must also know
that a transformation or change must then follow… We must be open to change
and know that reaching for God will cause us to be changed and transformed…
When one is thirsty they must pick up the glass to drink, let us pickup the
offering of Christ and thirst no more… God has put your breakthrough in reach,
He has set your victory within grasp and you must open yourself up to Him,
humble yourself before Him and seek His face! The church was being persecuted
and torn down, but Paul is reminding the disciples to focus on the Lord and
know that He can change things! We often
hear that God isn’t a God of confusion and that is true, but let us not take
that to think that God cannot work in confusion… Through the trials you
face, God will show up if you turn to Him, He will be found if you seek Him and
He will transform your spirit into His image if you let Him…
BE BLESSED!!!
