Look Into the Glass

Take a look into the glass until you see yourself, now keep looking until you see Jesus. “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 Cor. 3:18. Your life must reflect transformation, what is transformation “to be changed.” The more you read the word, and obey, the more Christ works in you. The more Christ is at work in you, the more you will reflect. Another version: And all of us have had that veil removed so that we can be mirrors that brightly reflect the glory of the Lord. And as the Spirit of the Lord works within us, we become more and more like him and reflect his glory even more.Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…Romans 8:29 For whom he did for foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son. The reason why I had you to see these scripture is because these are scriptures that we so easily just run over without understanding. Christ wants you to imitate Him completely, becoming the mind, the mouth, the hands and feet through which He expresses Himself. This is the Christmas season is it not, and we are celebrating Christmas, only where is Christ. Is our lives reflecting Jesus in it? Is the word of God being transformed in us. And finally is the world seeing Jesus or Us. We are commanded to look into the word and keep looking until we no longer see ourselves anymore but all we see is Jesus.
